Ah, that's a pity cfmljure isn't as easy to use as I thought it was. In the tradeoff between skilled Clojure developers being a rare and perhaps expensive commodity and the need to rapidly develop an app to fulfill business goals (and keep your job), cfmljure seems like it could offer a means to slowly integrate and learn Clojure as skills and a real need develop.
