I personally hate the startup time. Mainly because it prevents me from using it in places I really want it.

It's gotten a lot better over the years, but it's still pretty bad.

Now you can use GraalVM (with a few caveats) to native-compile Clojure code, though. It's still in its early stages, but it's possible.
