@YADU That I don't know about. I did find the bookmark, it's about Lisp, not Clojure and makes the point that its power and your lack of competition using it, give you a great advantage as a startup.

@30hrs oh you don't need to convince me of Lisp's power, I'm already convinced.
I was mostly just curious about comparing a JVM language to C++ in terms of performance. -
@YADU Unfortunately the op didn't post his code. He said he was a Python and C++ programmer, no experience given. Below is his explanation of the problem. Probably not too helpful. BTW, do you work with Scheme or Common LISP? Just curious.

@30hrs I program in C++ mainly.
My experience with functional languages is OCaml and Racket, both of which I absolutely love (Racket is basically Scheme if you're not familiar with it).
Folks should give Clojure a look. It may be Lisp on steroids. Need to wrap your brain around macros to use it properly. It's interpreted so it must be slow, riiight?
Not so, er, fast.Ran across a discussion re C++ vs Clojure running data acquisition at 100 MBPS or better. Bottom line, original Clojure code was sped up 76.6x and blew the doors off the C++ code.
Be warned, a number of optimization steps were required. The end result blew me away. Had a link I wanted to insert but it's not on my phone and I may have re-installed Linux wiping it out. Have looked for the post for hours, no joy.
