I'd like to thank Alexander for all of his hard work. It's entirely my fault that his Neko work hasn't been merged in, but it's something I am going to get done soon.
I see similar work has been done for Scala. Amongst other things:<p><a href="https://code.google.com/p/scalaforandroid/" rel="nofollow">https://code.google.com/p/scalaforandroid/</a><p>Does anyone with Scala on Android experience know if it is bogged down by the same size and performance issues? I assume they are running against the same problems on parallel tracks. Just curious.
I think it's interesting how few comments clojure posts attract. Given pg's love of lisp and how amazing clojure is (at least in my opinion) in terms of language design and what features we'll need in the next 10 years, I would have thought the HN community would be jumping all over it.<p>This isn't meant to be anything more then an interesting observation.
Can someone in the know comment on the size of the runtime? Why is it so large? Is this problem likely to be solved, or are we waiting for more powerful hardware?
