Interesting you have been spending time looking at Java source code, what problems were you trying to solve?

I have been working professionally with clojure for about a year and haven't had to look at any Java source code.

Mostly trying to better understand clojure constructs and their edge cases. I guess I was expecting a more lisp-y setup where high-level concepts were implemented in terms of a small number of clojure primitives, but it didn't seem to work that way. Probably made it perform better, but it also makes it harder to do anything about the endless Java stack traces.
