One of the primary reasons Clojure is on the JVM is to re-use Java libraries. Date & Time calculations are 1) notoriously tricky 2) broken or incomplete in almost every language's standard library 3) solved fairly well in Joda I don't think it's unreasonable to put a dependency on a third party jar when it solves the problem better than other attempts.
