A lot of reasons for which it is not possible:
- it would mean coordinating two implementations/implementers.
- it would prevent to go to platform for which there is no support in
the other language.
- A type checker would not be really happy to deal with a lot of
Object -> Object functions...
- it would be ugly

Having a bit of (optional) type inference for performance and
compile-time safety in Clojure could be interesting though.
