  123 4,080 9.2 Clojure

  Native, fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting

  

  babashka and Joker, implementations specifically designed for fast startup, comparable to e.g. Guile and interpreted Chicken.

• lumo

  5 1,894 0.0 Clojure

  Discontinued Fast, cross-platform, standalone ClojureScript environment

  Lumo and Planck (standalone Clojurescript environments, based on Node and on JavaScriptCore with some additional functionality to make it suitable for scripting, respectively), and Clojerl (Clojure implemented on BEAM). Startup times are comparable to e.g. Racket.

• sci

  20 1,227 8.4 Clojure

  Configurable Clojure/Script interpreter suitable for scripting and Clojure DSLs

  

  Python has, among other possibilities, ctypes (which just loads a DLL and lets you call functions on it at the ABI level (example: calling small clojure interpreter)), Cython (where you call C and C++ at the API level from a superset of Python; you can just put it in a Jupyter cell and the compiler will be called automatically), and cffi (which lets you switch between API and ABI mode at will and is suitable for a wide range of scenarios, from "I want to call C source code" to "I don't even have the source code"). I haven't seen anything comparable in any Lisp, let alone most of them. What am I missing?
