On the basis that it's less painful to add new stuff in later than to remove stuff I agree that erring on the side of caution in the correct approach. > Overall I think this is a good idea, but I get the feeling duck- > streams isn't quite ready, at least not today.

Well, this would be a fairly large change so I'm guessing that it wouldn't hit master until 1.2 at least, which gives us some time to work with. > Also, there's a bigger question of how Clojure will support IO.

I think that sticking with the JVM is the way to go, at least for the time being. Running atop the JVM is one of Clojure's real strengths, and not something that we should discard lightly (no offence meant to the folks working on the CLI port of course!).
