I see this (very cool-looking) IDE has one-click Clojure Android project skeletons. I'm in the midst of Android development, and find that Java is slowing me down more than I would have anticipated. I just can't sketch out ideas like I do in scripting languages. So my question is: how is Clojure on Android these days? I know that historically, it's had some performance issues. Are these getting better? Is interaction with the Android API pretty seamless?

I'm half-tempted to use Nightcode just to spare me the pain of trying to set up a Android project using Clojure. If any of the previous non-Java languages I've used on Android are any indication (Python and Lua, mainly), it's a huge pain in the ass. I really wish Google had built a more polyglot-friendly environment in Android.



This seems like the place to start. https://github.com/clojure-android/lein-droid
