This is a slightly irregular announcement, because it's not for a Clojure 
library.  Rather, it's for a library written purely in 
Java: https://github.com/lacuna/bifurcan.

This is a collection of mutable and immutable data structures, designed to 
address some of my personal frustrations with what's available in the 
Clojure and Java ecosystems.  Notably, they have pluggable equality 
semantics, so while they *can* use Clojure's expensive hash and equality 
checks, they don't *have* to.  They also provide high-performance mutable 
variants of the data structure which share an API with their immutable 
cousins.  

I'm posting it here to ask for people's thoughts on how, if at all, this 
should be exposed as a Clojure library.  It would be simple to simply wrap 
them in the Clojure interfaces and make them behave identically to 
Clojure's own data structures, but that kind of obviates the point. 
 However, creating an entirely new set of accessors means that we can't 
leverage Clojure's standard library.

It's possible that I'm alone in my frustrations, and no Clojure wrapper is 
necessary.  But if this does solve a problem you have, I'd like to hear 
more about what it is, and how you think Bifurcan might help.  Please feel 
free to reply here, or to grab me at Clojure/West and talk about it there.

Thanks in advance,
Zach
