Ooops didn't finish that thought. But my point was that I think some of the libraries in consideration stand apart in terms of convenience vs. actual utility. Not so sure about how to deploy this stuff ;) Stuart's ideas seems reasonable, though again, Clojure already includes some external source (compiler stuff), perhaps some of these things should be included in core if possible?
Some of the libraries really save development resources by not reinventing the wheel, and having them delivered in some way with Clojure means that newcomers don't have to make the same mistakes over and over again (writing matrix math Clojure apps on top of Clojure vectors...)
