That still sounds arithmetic-heavy to me. In looking through my code,
I find three different classes of algorithm:

1) Things that are hard-core number-crunching, which for me is usually
   either combinatorics or crypto, where bigint is either a necessity
   or a major convenience.

2) Searches of various kinds, where most of the code manipulates
   trees/graphs to be searched with no (explicit) arithmetic, and one
   function evaluates a node with maybe a half-dozen arithmetic ops,
   meaning an average of <1 arithmetic op per function.

3) Everything else (web hacks, database stuff, string processing,
   etc.) where there's basically *no* arithmetic.

I guess the real question I should be asking is:

Where can I get jar files of the various branches so I can test for
myself without having to deploy whatever infrastructure is needed to
build clojure these days? Or am I likely to be able to build them with
tools found in the BSD ports tree?
