I understand why Clojure deliberately focuses on the Java ecosystem. If I still would be in Java development today I likely would use Clojure. If I were in web development I likely would use Clojurescript. Currently I prefer the Emacs/SLIME/SBCL toolbox which is more responsible (and Nim by the way).
My humble two cents to the Clojure team:
1) You should implement a cache mechanism ("save-image") for native code so that at least the annoying startup time of clojure apps is gone. I wonder why Java doesn't support native caches to this day.
2) The weird Java stack trace problem could be solved by providing an individual stack tracer which is close to the source code. I know that this is not possible for Java libraries but at least clojure stack traces should be presented in a more convenient manner.
