I agree with this, Clojure being hosted means you have to understand the host decently enough. This is a downside and an upside since Java and JS are large, popular ecosystems. But in some cases I wish there was the option to just compile a binary. As for now, I can’t recommend the language to people who don’t already now Java and/or JS. (Maybe WASM/WASI will open this door at some point.)
