This page made my iPhone 5S really sad, scrolling was really laggy - i'm guessing all the clojure code was using something like clojurescript? If so, it really didn't need to as it was all static but causes a seemingly really large amount of computation while scrolling.

Likely it is the JavaScript. It looks like many of the code blocks are live, using Klipse[0], which is a multi-language client-side code evaluator. It's not ClojureScript specific.

Edit to add: it is written in ClojureScript, however.

It's not static. You can edit the code blocks and see the results.
