If you want to use existing Java libraries then run those on the server. Clojure code will run either on the client or the server if it is not dependent on any server or client specific code (i.e. pure Clojure) > 2.

The reason why C2 was written in Clojurescript is probably because it's just so much more fun and faster to code in Clojure.
