Sanel, i'm sorry but due to lack of time i prioritized finishing the ClojureScript application. However, in the next few monthes, i'll keep working with VMKit and J3 for my Z3 project, so i will try and AOT compile Clojure (My professor tells me that potentially any Java program should be AOT compilable with J3, but i remain skeptical :) ) and forward the results to you.
