Except that Clojure will load all of them so it can bind them to the vars in each namespace. Java code is usually much less dynamic, and makes some static analysis a lot easier. JVMs are pretty good about not loading classes until they are used, so I think the real problem is that the init code for each namespace loads all of the classes before it does anything. If that could be delayed, I suspect most of the startup delay would go away. The trick is figuring out how to do this without adding yet another level of indirection to vars.
