It seems that you can run it directly in the browser with clojurescript, which might help a lot with educating about the project. If memory serves, church did this. Also there is some tradition on using lisps for AI; church, for example, is implemented on top of scheme. Other probabilistic programming languages use prolog as ascendent and Prolog and lisps such as clojure are quite related. But I don’t know if these were the reasons :)
