Hello, I mostly only lurk here, but I recently was running a small experiment with Java 8 Compact Profiles (essentially, restricted versions of the JRE designed for serverside deployments that only ship a subset of rt.jar) and thought it might be of interest.
Clojure appears to depend on the full JRE, but this seems to be due to only a few packages. From my initial investigations, it seems that it wouldn't be too hard to persuade the main parts of Clojure (basically, everything which doesn't do Swing/GUI stuff) to only need compact1 (the most restrictive profile) instead. The benefits would be reduced disk footprint, better security and possible startup time and memory footprint improvements for the majority of Clojure users, at a cost of needing to subdivide the clojure jars. Is this something that the community would be interested in investigating, and if so, are there people who have cycles to contribute? Or has someone tried this already?
