I actually really enjoyed the article... it wasn't much new for me in terms of Java, but I think one of the places we're lacking in documentation is help for Java n00bs trying to get a handle on JVM programming, especially since the "idiomatic" way of accessing Java from Clojure is directly.
Personally, I'm grateful for the plethora of libraries that wrap Java libs in "pure" Clojure so I don't have to think about Java when I'm writing Clojure. One of the things that turned me off about CL and Racket was writing awful FFI llibs to hook into C system libs. What I'd love to see is a tutorial on abstracting Java classes and interfaces in pure Clojure, and perhaps something like Ruby's FFI lib that lets you forget about the runtime you're using (Clojure, ClojureCLR, even some of the neophyte efforts like C Clojure or Clojure-in-Clojure)... Ok, rambling a bit here... but I love the fact that Clojure lets me leverage the entire Java stdlib, I just wish I didn;t have to switch gears and think about how to proxy that AbstractSingletonFactoryFactoryInterfaceFactory to write the Lisp-y code I wanted to in the first place. Just my $0.02...
