You are quite wrong in asserting how our software is written. Most of the clojure libs we refer to are layers around a Java lib. When I state that we would have to move away from these in four months, it includes these layers and a replacement for the Java libs.
On top of that we have isolation layers between our core and a few Java libs. As far as performance critical code, we stay away from this type of tuning. Our business domain allows us to do that plus an early decision to stay away from Java in our core as much as possible. As for waiting for these libs to show up by themselves, no way, we would take things in our hands as soon as such a move would be required. For any project your mileage may vary but I stated in my post that this depends on your reliance on interop. If it's everywhere in your code then such a move requires more work obviously.
