Haskell and Clojure are both functional languages with Haskell being purer. That being said, I fairly regularly see posts about how fast Haskell is (Bryan O'Sullivan has a great blog[1]) and I rarely if ever see posts about how fast Clojure is.

What is/are the reason(s) for this? Is it the fault of the JVM, or the bytecode the Clojure compiler emits?
