• Run native Clojure on Android
• Develop over nREPL
• Build for F-Droid or Google Play
• Write UIs in a declarative DSL with reactive cells
• Use device sensors as reactive cells
• Use intent callbacks without wanting to smash your device with a hammer
• Fast startup - release builds launch in under 2 seconds on a five year old midrange phone

Clojure + Crema: a native binary that runs full JVM Clojure with fast startup.

Cream uses GraalVM's Crema (RuntimeClassLoading) to enable runtime eval, require, and library loading in a native binary. It can also run Java source files directly, as a fast alternative to JBang.

Warning: Cream is very alpha. It depends on GraalVM Crema (EA) and a custom Clojure fork. Do not use in production. Issues and ideas are welcome though: https://github.com/borkdude/cream/issues

Not that this is the most important metric. I'm not even sure if his numbers are correct. But interesting nontheless.

I can vouch for Clojure's conciseness.
