I am so excited about how neko and lein-droid have come along; Alex has done some amazing work. Compared to Android's standard Java/XML approach, it's really a revelation to write your UI and logic in the same simple Clojure code. For the types of apps that don't require instant boot times, I think Clojure will be a tremendous secret weapon.
