An ambitious project indeed! As for the Java libraries, have you had a look at JScience? From what I've seen, it's not at all bad. However, I do believe that, as far as Clojure is concerned, it should have its own scientific libraries and infrastructure. So I'm really glad that you've started this project. I hope I will be able to contribute and help in any possible way.
