Clojure code should in principle be possible to execute very fast when using the same data structures. Clojure is much better behaved than languages like Ruby and Javascript from a compiler perspective. See for example the Stalin scheme compiler. It runs well written Scheme at almost C speed (sometimes even faster), without type annotations.
