Logically, don't use Clojure & the JVM if you want to avoid bloat. Try LFE, Lisp Flavored Erlang: http://lfe.io/ or SBCL: http://sbcl.org/

Just a recommendation if you want to avoid the JVM bloat issues, which are real and have existed since the JVM was developed

Don't underestimate Erlang's capacity for eating-up all the RAM on a machine in very quick time. Those lightweight processes start to add up if left unchecked. At least the JVM establishes an upper limit on memory use from the outset.
