There hasn't been much, unfortunately. I haven't found much time for serious Clojure hacking for a few months. But the project is not abandoned, just slowed down. > I've built the Java interface to HDF5, and I've been using that for > data storage.

I'd say what Java needs is not complex numbers as a value type, but a way to define additional value types. Complex numbers are just one applications. Another one is points (2D or 3D) for geometry and graphics. Unfortunately the problem is not just Java, but the JVM, meaning that Clojure inherits the problem.
