4) Author wants multi-core support, and fast runtime, which JVM provides.
5) Author wants a declarative data oriented approach, which Clojure is good at.
Finally, the author acknowledges they are concerned about startup time, but believe their is hope either with GraalVM native compilation support, or a custom Clojure runtime.
