Best would be to act as professionnal:
- try to convince your new boss of the benefits of using clojure from
a business point of view.
- if this fail, either go back to writing java or quit.

But do not try to abuse your boss and company by developping in
clojure behind the scene and deliver some crappy generated java. This
would be a legitimate reason to be fired.
