I never said it can't be done. I did write this in a hurry, so I may have muddled my central thesis.

I'm arguing two things:

First, Clojure has missing or rotting libraries, requiring re-implementing logic we've all done at least once because people are fixated building the Rails for Clojure.

Second, that the business case for using Clojure becomes weaker because the lack of open-source efforts on this front (due to the 'Rails Vacuum') causes either interal library building (extra time) or, more likely, interop. Interop, to _some_ management, sounds an awful lot like using Java, but with very expensive Clojure developers to do it.
