Hi Timothy, All Clojure code compiles to Java bytecode. You can do this on-the-fly at runtime, and this is fast enough to be a reasonable option. Or, you can AOT-compile (see http://clojure.org/compilation).
Clojure has a lot of granular abstraction under the hood. (Said another way: Clojure objects like ISeq implement a bunch of Java interfaces, both those defined in Java and new ones added by Clojure). The interesting thing about Clojure's abstractions is that you usually don't notice they are there. You just find that things that should work together, work together.
