    faster code in clojure ... with the speed of the jvm.
Something irks me about this argument :-)

JRuby seems quite slow though. Definitely not 'close to the JVM' like Clojure. Perhaps we could say it's the speed of the JVM versus the speed of the JVM with an elephant sitting on it ;)

Touche, though way more people use things other then the JVM for ruby from the sounds of what I see standing on the outside looking in.
