Clojure on Android
summary
Clojure-on-Android stack shows concrete tools and measurable wins: a Landroid build plugin plus Neco library provide REPL-driven development, Hiccup-style UI as data, lightweight sqlite and prefs wrappers, and CIDER integration for live edits. Project Skummet is an optimizing Clojure compiler that reduces startup time 3–4× and shrinks APKs and heap usage roughly >2× and ~50% respectively by AOTing vars and enabling ProGuard. Demo boots an emulator, connects a REPL and hot-updates UI and network-driven lists.
