Unlike Scala, having Java-style code in Clojure yields no advantages. You just end up with something like Java, but with less type safety and more parentheses.

Unlike Scala, having Java-style code in Clojure yields no advantages. You just end up with something like Java, but with less type safety and more parentheses. It also makes a lousy start for refactoring since effective Clojure is so much about figuring out how to shape your code into nested S-Expressions, so you'll end up nuking most of your auto-converted Java "statements".
