I'm not disputing that Clojure's data structures right now are more performant than Scala's or that your project was worthless. I even apologized in case my original post was badly worded.
What I wanted to confer was that, you _might_ have been wasting a lot of effort because I assumed that you might not have been informed about work of the Scala team that has a high likelihood of obsoleting your project in the near future. Obviously you were informed and my notice was inappropriate. Be assured it won't happen again.
If increasing the performance by about 1/4 for your use cases - compared to the current beta - is valuable for you, great! For me it wouldn't have been worth a few hours. 'A good learning experience' would have. But obviously your values are different.
