There is an effort underway to port the stdlib to clojure named clojure.core <https://github.com/mylesmegyesi/clojure.core>. The idea is to eventually to move off of clojure and bootstrap it with the clojure in clojure compiler, but that's a ways off. Here <https://github.com/mylesmegyesi/clojure.core/milestones> is a list of implement functions from core.
