I've posted a major update to the ClojureCLR code to clojure-contrib. However, if you want to stay up with the latest changes, I recommend gitting the code at http://github.com/dmiller/ClojureCLR. Consult the wiki there for information on installing / compiling / running.
This release brings the code up to revision 1370 of the JVM version, about a week ago. This means that all the lazy changes have been incorporated. The latest version of the DLR is used. The compiler has been completely rewritten. It now follows the JVM version very closely, though it still uses the DLR (specifically, Expression Trees V2) for most code generation. Type hints are followed. Most important, AOT-compilation now works and loading and compiling are pretty complete. Because the bootstrap files such as core.clj can be AOT-compiled into CLR assemblies, the startup time has been significantly reduced. Of the bootstrap files, core.clj is 95% complete. core_print, set, and zip are at 100%. And main.clj loads, so the standard REPL is available. Proxying and genclass haven't been attempted yet. Speed is still an issue. For basic code generation, the MSIL produced by the ClojureCLR compiler is as close as possible to the bytecodes produced by the Clojure(JVM) compiler. The next phase f work is to do IL-level comparisons of the compiler output of each implementation. If anyone has some *.clj benchmarks to recoommend, let me know. Overall, this release is a very large step forward in performance and functionality. There are still enough rough edges and gaps in testing that daily use cannot be recommended, but those wanting to play and test will find this release much easier to deal with. Bon appetit.
