I'm not sure that's a tradeoff I'd be happy to make. It makes it harder to reason about performance. I don't think that's true. A persistent array map is a single data structure. It's just a persistent data structure optimized for non-destructive (functional) updates. On a high-level it's…
As a clojure fan, I think this is a really well balanced and fair assessment of clojure. It's a bit surprising they didn't get into the whole "hygenic macro" business, which seems like the most obvious differentiator between the two languages to me. I would argue the macro system in scheme is very complicated (even more so in the extensions found in many scheme implementations) and this somewhat undercuts the minimalism appeal of the scheme language. (Though the scheme macro…
