I agree - learning clojure, I don't want to know about emacs either
(especially since installing clojure support has been unsuccessful so
far). Eclipse has a nice plugin, by Sean Devlin I believe.

The "killer app" for Clojure, I'm pretty certain, is a long-running
concurrent application. You know, something like a web server. Long-
running is neat because you can modify the runtime without the
limitations of hotswap or jrebel, and concurrent is neat because it's
a lot simpler to write concurrent programs with enforced mutability.
Note that the REPL is a pretty killer app, and it would certainly be
interesting to "grow" the REPL into two completely different programs!

Of course, it could also be a GUI app, too. But, for some reason Lispy
programmers don't seem to be very good at making things look pretty.
