I've thought about Clojure on PyPy too.  My thought was that you would make 
Clojure an RPython addition to the RPython Python.  That would give you a 
pretty good start at a library, at least.

When I glanced at it, PyPy's build tools didn't seem to be sophisticated enough 
to handle this as some kind of add-in to the Python implementation: you would 
have had to fork PyPy to get this to work, or spend some time on the build 
tools.  Maybe I missed something.

I also felt that sticking with the official Java implementation of Clojure 
would be more practical.  It would certainly be fun to put Clojure on PyPy, 
though.
