I think this is a great idea and I certainly support this effort. One thought that springs to mind is that it would be nice to be able to use the Clojure interfaces and data structures in Java *without* pulling in the whole of Clojure as a dependency. Clojure is a bit of a heavyweight dependency (with non-trivial load time impact?) and it would certainly be easier to sneak the data structures into a Java project if it were a slimmer dependency. This would also avoid concerns about security / risk of "eval" functionality etc.
Also - I assume you are familiar with edn-java (https://github.com/bpsm/edn-java)? It would be good to make sure your work is aligned with this....
