So I was playing with AOT for the first time. My main reason to use it is
so the consumer Java code doesn't look so alien / run-timey.
The thing is, I encountered that the following line causes `lein compile`
to hang:
(defn -server [] (jetty/run-jetty #'app {:port 8000 :join? false}))
(for those not familiar with Jetty, the expression causes a web server to
launch.)
I can sort of see why this code represents a fault, from a compiler's point
of view. But OTOH, in e.g. Java it's not that much of a rare practice to
bind a the result of a side-effectful op to a variable, right?
My question is quite simply, why can't the given code compile? It is not
entirely clear to me, as I don't thoroughly understand how Clojure's
compiler works (or any compiler at all, for that matter).
