As Clojure programmer, i tell you that you should, because any moment Java introduce new features libraries will start using and most Clojure libraries are Java libraries wrappers.

In addition if you want to use these new Java libraries in case and Clojure does not catch up with new Java features the ergonomics of using Java libraries with clojure decrease.

And still they are trying to figure out how Ifn Clojure interface with Java functional interfaces.

Also when Project Loom lands on JVM it will benefit Clojure too, allowing to remove code for instance of Clojure futures.

If Clojure catch up with Value classes can increase performance of Clojure too.

But this disregard of Java features or improvements is the kind of Clojure developer so content of what he have that forgots that can get better things.
