So there's pinot, but I've come to a relatively similar conclusion to
Kovas that wrapping the goog libs aren't really the way to go. For
one, I was basically replicating aspects of jQuery (like event
delegation).

Recently I started on doing some thing that makes jQuery play in the
Clojure world really nicely. I'll get this onto github soon.

Cheers,
Chris.
