I've got a github repo with submissions for the Benchmarks Game web site for
Java and Clojure, with several different Clojure programs for most problems:
https://github.com/jafingerhut/clojure-benchmarks
If people would like to submit what they consider idiomatic Clojure programs
for any of these problems, feel free to send them to me, and I can include
them, not only in the repo but also in some benchmark results that I am
planning to publish at the link below some day when I have them ready, under
"whole program benchmarks":
http://jafingerhut.github.com/clojure-benchmarks-results/Clojure-benchmarks.html
If you do submit a program, I'd ask you to consider submitting a version that
you wrote first and got working correctly, before even looking at any kinds of
optimizations at all, as well as one you consider to be a mild optimization
pass over that first version, and yet still "idiomatic".
