The new SBCL release has an experimental support for Clojure – check it out

Being able to write Node app in Clojurescript, Clojure on JVM and CLR, and now for the excellent SBCL platform.

I am naturally predisposed to like SBCL. I wrote a Common Lisp book for Springer-Verlag in the late 1980s and very recently another self published CL book (pardon the plug: https://leanpub.com/lovinglisp).

SBCL is a great environment and compiler but I have found Clojure to be such a practical language to use that about 1/3 of my development in the last 5 years has used Clojure. Getting Clojure to run 2x or 3x times faster on SBCL sounds great!
