I've wondered the same myself. At least for Android, Kawa beats
Clojure easily in ease of use, interrop and runtime. What Clojure does
have however is an integrated map/hash type, and ability to compile to
javascript. I'm no language expert, but one thing that does more or
less define the "scripting type" of languages is map/hash integrated
into the language (yes, a feature that is heavily abused). From this
point of view, Clojure probably looks more "like" the dynamic
languages that lots of people grow up with today (Python, Ruby, Perl
etc).
Oh, and Per's web site building skills. ;-)
My $.02 anyway.
Thanks,
Marius K.
