One problem I've heard with creating Android apps in languages such as Clojure or Scala is the dependencies (in Clojure's case, probably clojure.jar and clojure-contrib.jar) that are brought in increase the size of the app. Those dependencies may be very small when deployed as a server app or on a desktop application, but on my poor little G1, any app more than a few megs risks generating a "Your phone is low on memory" error.
I haven't yet gotten very far in my Android book, so excuse the ignorance of this question, but does Android have an easy way to have shared dependencies, or does each app that uses Clojure need to package those libraries separately?
