Hi, Dimitris - It looks from Clojure source [1] that Clojure compiles to v1.8 class files, so this should be mean you can run in any JVM 1.8 and beyond.
When you say you are deliberating including Clojure as a proper dependency. I've noticed that some Clojure libraries will have Clojure listed as a dependency in their repository POM but it will be marked with scope `provided` which is a way of saying this is a dependency that the JAR is expected to be provided by the library consumer at runtime. I'm not sure why AOT changes the question of whether to include the Clojure jar as a dependency; I think you have this question with non-precompiled/AOT'd libraries, no? I do understand that with AOT your lib will have *.class files in the JAR that directly reference Clojure classes. But in some IDEs -- just having the dependency as provided will suffice to make it available for linking/compiling.
