I slowly get the feeling that build tools are too much in the focus. Why don't we start up with a good shell integration, being able to run clj <my script> go nice and including dependencies in jars and stuff. Making it easy to work with plain .clj files to include, load, run them would get us a huge way ahead and I think kind of freeing us from what I feel as the burden of the java world.
