The only things I know that Gloss lacks relative to Erlang's functionality is arbitrary bit-lengths for integers and mixed-endian support, both of which I plan to add in the near future. Lacking Erlang's built in pattern matching, the Clojure implementation will probably be less elegant in some cases, but it will certainly get the job done.
If you decide to use Gloss and run into any issues, please let me know.
