I had a lot of fun with Kawa and the JVM until I discovered Clojure and Leiningen... really Kawa could use a building and dependency infrastructure like Leiningen. Anyway, Kawa is a lot of fun, too.

As much as I like clojure; The idea of having a pure Scheme and the ability to play with SICP code on JVM is tempting

I wonder if it is faster than Clojure on Android.

Does anyone know?

I am still hoping that Clojure 1.7 will finally be fast enough.

This old, but you might be able to rerun it. http://per.bothner.com/blog/2010/Kawa-in-shootout/ Back in 2010 Kawa looks to be beating Clojure pretty handily. Not sure how well Kawa fares under robovm. All worth a weekend hack for those with some time.
