Clojure runnes manly on the JVM. Oracle ownes (or has the patents) why should anything change for clojure?
As far as Dalvik goes. Why should Clojure care the lawsuit is about implementation details (as far as I understand) in the VM the basic working will be the same. Befor starting a real effort to support clojure on more VMs (not just CLR) we should finish Clojure in Clojure first. When Clojure is in Clojure as far as posible it will be mutch easier to support the CLR and others. Instead of splitting efforts know our goal should be Clojure in Clojure.
