I am so excited about how neko and lein-droid have come along; Alex has
done some amazing work. Compared to Android's standard Java/XML approach,
it's really a revelation to write your UI and logic in the same simple
Clojure code. For the types of apps that don't require instant boot times,
I think Clojure will be a tremendous secret weapon.
