Very cool, and certainly not easy to pull off. It would be interesting to see a good native run-time for Clojure, essentially freeing it from the JVM (though, granted the JVM is driving its adoption). I fear that this is a lot of work however. The JVM may not be perfect for Clojure but a ton of work has gone into HotSpot. One way out is leveraging native libraries, extending the language with means to call into them. If that could be made more convenient, it would be incredibly powerful.
