Is it possible to at least compile Clojure source code to Java bytecode before running the program? I'm pulling my hair out just trying to pass even the simplest problems. They all run under the time limit without compiling on my system but knowing that SPOJ is a lot slower than typical systems, the least that can be done is to compile the source code before execution. It's quite unfair to run them via the interpreter because just loading the interpreter takes about 1s.
I absolutely agree with you! I can't even solve the simplest problem by using Clojure because of the weird TLE or RE.
I think SPOJ should upgrade the compiler of Clojure to 1.3/1.5 or maybe go to find out the reason why Clojure code always got TLE.
