"Clojure would be a nice environment to work with if it wasn't running on JVM. It renders Clojure a resource hog, and the startup time is awful. A big no-no for most of my use cases."

Then don't use it, right? There are plenty of use cases for which Clojure makes sense, and where running on the JVM is a perk.

I don't. Though I would like to from time to time.

ClojureScript is these days selfhosting. If you want to write and run small scripts you could give Planck a try (ClojureScript REPL). The startup time is much smaller.
