There was a time (you may not remember) when I was considering either implementing in Kawa or utilizing its infrastructure. But I also wanted to support .Net, so I went off and reinvented a Lisp core in C#/ Java. Along the way, I turned Clojure into a functional language, and dropped .Net. I don't think I could get the benefits I want from Clojure if it were just a library on a language that didn't embrace functional programming and immutability in its core feature set. In this respect Clojure has fundamentally diverged from CL/Scheme.
