This bridge you developed is really good for mixing native PicoLisp performance with Java ecosystem. But sometimes the programmers don't have anything to say about how the servers are run - they just are told that "we deploy the JVM with this and this version". They can use any language, just as long as that language works *inside* the JVM. In those instances, alternatives such as Ersatz are really nice. (By the way I really meant to say Clojure, not Groovy, but it doesn't matter. Ersatz could be a competitor to all the JVM languages.) best regards, Jakob -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe

Re: Java Interoperability - Why bother with Clojure?
Interesting development you have there, connecting the JVM to PicoLisp proper. Which makes me wonder about Ersatz PicoLisp though. How would it stand against other JVM alternatives? I know that Ersatz is not as fast as native PicoLisp. But for instance Groovy, is really slow on the JVM. Maybe Ersatz would be fast enough for serious work too, if Groovy is.
