I don't think so, no. > 2) Does Clojure have anything similar to fasl files?

My guess for deployment would be to create a .jar file, which is distributed. The users put the .jar in their classpath and are able to load the library with require/use. For this to work the file layout has to follow the guidelines for namespace / filename translation, of course. I would use load only inside a ns to suck in different files for a namespace in case the implementation is split up. I would never use it to "load" a library. That's what require/use are for. To deploy a program one can create a Java class via gen-class, which contains a main function which "require"s the implementation of the program and starts the application running. In the MANIFEST.MF one can specify this class as Main-Class. So the user can do java -jar MyApp.jar to run the program. Just my 0.02€.
