Wouldn't that just make it harder to bootstrap an OS, needing to start with JVM and all...

  Not necessarily harder, just add 'jdk25' to home packages. If you really don't want to use JVM you can use Babashka to start clojure and use it like you would bash.

    Well, it makes it much harder to build the system from a simple assembler. Guix is AFAIK the only distro with a well-paved bootstrap path from a simple assembler to a fully-working distro[0]. Adding the JVM or even GraalVM (which is what Babashka is based on) makes the bootstrapping that much harder.
