Just tried the keyboard on my old Galaxy Nexus and I have to say that it felt really responsive (prediction works great, too). This really validates Clojure (well Skummet) for Android development, IMO. Congrats on pushing the boundaries and for the writeup around what you've done. I'm curious if you're looking at j2objc in combination with Skummet for projects targeting Android + iOS.
