To me, the "real world nastiness" is the Java cruft surrounding it. You don't have to deal with it except to get a nice programming environment running. At this point the options are much more complicated and uglier than DrScheme.

That's not what the author seems to mean though: Clojure's exceedingly cool, but to understand it you need to speak lisp

But I agree, an uncomplicated und "Java-free" IDE would be a great gain for a low-threshold start with Clojure. Clojurebox is a beginning, but it in turn burdens a starter with Emacs.
