is there any performance testing/metrics? i'm interested to know how clojure's baseline performance has changed over time.
no, we don't have any long-time thing like that. various suites have been used off and on, but nothing active right now
Is it fair to say that a good chunk of Clojure's improved performance over time has come from JVM performance improvements across versions? I know that there have been a number of specific Clojure performance improvements too, but general performance benefits from the JVM changes?
