That's a great question, and one that it's hard to find a clear answer to - and it's exactly the kind of thing that deters n00b programmers from jumping on the language. I want to learn clojure, I don't really grok Java, and I'm not sure where to start - I don't have a clear explanation of how my clojure project fits into the JVM and how to build everything. I wish examples would start without the repl, and instead write a simple "Hello world", turn it into a jar, and then expand on that, and then introduce the concept of the repl for iterative programming. A clear explanation of where Clojure libraries sit in relation to Java libraries would help too.....
