Apple made some news during the Clojure Conj by announcing that Java support from Apple was being deprecated. The good news today is that Oracle will deliver future updates of Java on the Mac. I think it's safe to say that the Mac remains a viable platform for Clojure development.

Apple will contribute most of the key components, tools and > technology required for a Java SE 7 implementation on Mac OS X, including a > 32-bit and 64-bit HotSpot-based Java virtual machine, class libraries, a > networking stack and the foundation for a new graphical client. OpenJDK will > make Apple’s Java technology available to open source developers so they can > access and contribute to the effort.
