Clojure doesn't need FFI, neither does it need anything to run but the JVM, you package your application in a jar and run it the same as always, and you only write Java using your system editor and the JDK in introductory compsci courses.

It surely does, calls go both ways, and Closure doesn't understand everything introduced on the JVM since Java 8.

Poor students, at least Blue/J.

By the way, I already used Clojure in projects.

Usually I only critic stuff I actually know.

Even universities in India use IntelliJ or Eclipse these days.
