Here's all the reasons I know of for doing AOT-compilation:
- The code produces JVM classes with `clojure.core/gen-class`, which
only produces any results when compiling.
- The code needs to expose a JVM class as an entry-point for a JVM
framework which expects to find and instantiate a class through
reflection. (Usually in tandem with the previous case.)
- One wishes to build and distribute source-less JARs of only the
compiled code.
Any I'm missing?
An open-source Clojure library intended for use from Clojure might hit
the first case, but I don't believe very frequently.
