Some of the new features for 1.8 are:

   - More string functions in clojure.string 
   <http://clojure.github.io/clojure/branch-master/clojure.string-api.html> 
   (portable to ClojureScript): index-of, last-index-of, starts-with?, 
   ends-with?, includes?
   - Compiler direct linking 
   <http://clojure.org/reference/compilation#directlinking> - improves 
   performance and startup time
   - Socket server 
   <http://clojure.org/reference/repl_and_main#_launching_a_socket_server> 
   and socket server REPL - adds the ability to allow remote Clojure REPL 
   connections
