I thought there might be a performance reason in there. Thanks for the pointer to clj-time. Looks like a huge improvement over java date/calendar.
BTW: love the book. Mine is already getting dog eared.

In Clojure, it's about keeping (pure number) math fast. If you are doing any nontrivial date work, I recommend you look at clj-time (http://github.com/clj-sys/clj-time), a Clojure wrapper for Joda Time. Then, if you really want "<" and ">" to work, you can define them in your own namespace to wrap clj-time's "after?" and "before?".
