Hi All
I'm writing graphic clojure code with Processing jars.
When I wrote heavy draw code, I found clojure code is slower than an
equivalent of java.
Probably, the cause is java method call.
I call processing drawing method thousands times per one frame.
(.line applet x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2)
So
Have you got type hints? If you do a java method call on something which
isn't type hinted then clojure has to use reflection to look up a list of
the available methods, which is slw. If however you tell it what type
you expect it to be, it can better optimise it. So in the above code you

(def applet (new PApplet)) - (def ^PApplet (new PApplet)) results in
amazing speed!
And, quil certainly uses these type hints, sorry.
In this trouble, I learned the principle of using type hints for much java
method call.
Ideally I wish clojure compiler may automatically add type
