Um, I've been using it with shebang scripts for a while now. You've
got to do the usual interpreted interpreter double-script dance,
though:

1) Write a shell script that launches java running the clojure main
with all your favorite libraries somewhere on CLASSPATH.

2) Start your scripts with "#!/usr/bin/env scriptname" where
scriptname is the clojure script you wrote in step 1.

Performance pretty much sucks - starting the jvm is just slow. You can
solve that with nailgun (or something similar), which will let you use
the nailgun binary as the interpreter (i.e. "#!/usr/bin/env/clojure"
where clojure is a copy/symlink to the nailgun binary), but you have
to remember to start the nailgun server.
