With XNA running on the Xbox 360, reflection is the least of your worries. The runtime uses a very poor non-generational mark-and-sweep collector. At the rate of memory allocation in a typical Clojure program, you would be faced with constant GC hitches. Even people writing XNA games in C# (where idiomatic code is much less allocation intense) have to be very careful with allocations and will tend to use preallocated object pools for virtually everything.
