My guess is that the resulting ephemeral garbage would have only a small effect on performance, retaining most of the advantage of transients, but improving their safety. Would any of the Clojure experts care to comment on whether this seems like a worthwhile exercise?
Having spent a ton of hours last week tuning an app to remove ephemeral garbage, I am glad that Clojure doesn't make any more than it does. That said, I want to move toward having separate debug builds (of Clojure itself, and of my own code), and this kind of thing might be a good candidate for the debug build.
The next task for enabling debug builds is for someone with ant and maven fu to light the path for propagating the clojure.debug property [1] through the various builds and generated artifacts. Volunteers wanted. Feel free to contact me directly to discuss approach.
