Optimizing Clojure Performance on the JVM

Optimizing Clojure Performance on the JVM frames the migration decisions Java teams need to make before changing production code. The emphasis is on practical trade-offs: what existing JVM experience still applies, what object-oriented habits should be replaced, and how to review the resulting Clojure design.

Use the child lessons as checkpoints for planning, implementation, and team review rather than as isolated definitions.
