> Clojure is a JVM-hosted Lisp which strongly emphasizes interop with Java.  As with most Lisps, Clojure is designed to run primarily as an interpreter.  However, it is possible to use the Clojure ahead-of-time compiler to produce .class files which can then be separated from the original source.
> I think it would be very nice if Buildr had some support for Clojure as a buildable language.  At the moment, any Clojure-using projects have to resort to things like storing the .clj scripts in the src/main/resources directory, etc.  This works, but it's ugly and it doesn't mesh well with AOT compilation.  A better solution is to allow the storage of scripts in the src/main/clojure directory.  These scripts would then be compiled by default to target/classes.  It should also be possible to specify a finite set of libraries to compile, in which case the remaining (uncompiled) scripts should be copied to the appropriate sub-directory of target/classes.
> An essentially-functional implementation of this feature is available at git://github.com/djspiewak/buildr.git / clojure.  The / master branch also contains support for the clojure shell in context with this new language support.  Specs and documentation are presently absent, but could easily be added.
