What I'd like to see is that by adding one single annotation to this (reduce + foo) like so: (reduce + ^long-vector foo) triggers the compiler to eliminate all unnecessary allocations and work only on unboxed data. Another approach might be some of Rich Hickey's ideas of about primitive fns that understand chunks. Do your ideas get us any closer to writing idiomatic Clojure yet getting close to the performance of primitive operations on collections of unboxed data?
