To toot my own horn: The oldest still-active compiler-based language on the Java platform, besides Java, is as far as I know Kawa (https://gnu.org/software/kawa). It started Summer 1996, and is still actively maintained. (Not as active as it used to be, to be true.) Like Clojure, it is a Scheme-like language, but (unlike Clojure) it is very compatible with "regular" Scheme (R7RS), though of couurse with lots of extensions. With a little bit of care (including optional type-specifiers), it is easy to write code that is as fast as Java code.
