>>How is performance looking so far? On CPython...well about as good as CPython is comared to Java. On PyPy however, we're pretty close to Clojure. Currently on a factorial example, clojure-jvm runs in about 15 sec. On clojure-py it's about 24 sec. But there's always room for more optimization.

And is > performance the main drive here? Well first of all, the real main drive, is that I don't know Java libs nearly as well as Python libs. Secondly, there's a lot of cruft (imo) in Clojure that doesn't need to exist in a dynamic VM. For instance, there's no reason to new up something with (Foo. 1 2). In python objects are functions, so (Foo 1 2) works just fine. We have an alpha version of a shim built for integrating clojure with python. So in a python program you can do this; import clojure import examples.factorial # where examples/factorial.clj exists somewhere in the search path Clojure-py functions are python functions, and deftypes are classes, so interop is actually really good so far.
