So I was playing with AOT for the first time. My main reason to use it is 
so the consumer Java code doesn't look so alien / run-timey.

The thing is, I encountered that the following line causes `lein compile` 
to hang:

     (defn -server [] (jetty/run-jetty #'app {:port 8000 :join? false}))

(for those not familiar with Jetty, the expression causes a web server to 
launch.)

I can sort of see why this code represents a fault, from a compiler's point 
of view. But OTOH, in e.g. Java it's not that much of a rare practice to 
bind a the result of a side-effectful op to a variable, right?

My question is quite simply, why can't the given code compile? It is not 
entirely clear to me, as I don't thoroughly understand how Clojure's 
compiler works (or any compiler at all, for that matter).
