<sup>1<sup> Babashka uses [sci](https://github.com/borkdude/sci) for
interpreting Clojure. Sci implements a suffiently large subset of
Clojure. Interpreting code is in general not as performant as executing compiled
code. If your script takes more than a few seconds to run, Clojure on the JVM
may be a better fit, since the startup time penalty of Clojure on the JVM
outweighs its performance. Read more about the differences with Clojure
[here](#differences-with-clojure).
