I thought the same. Clojure is already a niche language, but then you go and niche the niche by implementing another language on top. Could work out if its essential to offering a 10x service, but I doubt the multiplier is that higher to warrant such an engineering cost of developing and maintaining another language on top of Clojure. Also, there would be many layers to get to the machine code (Custom lang -> Clojure -> Byte code -> JIT -> Machine code), would this impact performance in a way that makes the program too slow and needs re-writing?
