This is an interesting idea and a lightweight IDE distributed in contrib would be a great addition IMHO.
I have tried it (on Windows using a pre-lazy version of clojure) and it doesn't react to any events (though it does repaint after other apps windows are dragged over it). What version of clojure did you build it agaisnt?
