Clojure and memory usage in development
Raw
clojure.md

Developing in Clojure seems to require tons of RAM. I'm currently working on a small HTTP service: 200 LOC, minimal dependencies. I'm using lein ring server-headless to run a development server, and I'm using Emacs and the CIDER repl. This spins up 4 java processes on my machine, 2 for the server and 2 for CIDER.

That's almost 3GB of RAM. If you're also running a VM in virtualbox or VMware, your computer is gonna have a bad time.

VMware Fusion is using only 200MB of RAM. No idea how that's possible.
