You can call into Clojure code from that code and vice versa, if you want to start that way. But best to first dev and test the code separately so you can use the normal Clojure dev workflows. Or I guess you can start a nrepl from your Clojure code and do live dev in that scenario, maybe someone has done it and can report?

Mostly, people using Clojure want. to get away from Java.

I understand that, but Spring Boot already offers support for Koltin (yikes) and Groovy (double-yikes). Would supporting Clojure templates that use the underlying Java classes be difficult or cumbersome? Would it yield Clojure code that's not idiomatic?

I don't mind the underlying tooling that much, but I'd love to be able to use a more elegant language for the business logic.

I don't have the experience in Java or Spring to say, sounds like it could possibly be interesting to try building as a path to Clojure.
