Clojure isn't an option on iOS. No Java, right?

I hadn't been following this lately, so went to check the status of Clojure on iOS Da Goog turns up one person suggesting ClojureScript which (while nifty) isn't the same thing. Another site suggests compiling Clojure to Scheme (which is going to be clumsy at best) or ActionScript (gaaaaaaaah!).

Of course, good luck on getting anything with a functioning REPL on iOS anyway (even the original package under discussion).

Why would you compile Clojure to Scheme? If you know Clojure, wouldn't you be able to write Scheme without too much difficulty?

I don't know; maybe you have existing Clojure code that you need to use?

Ruby Motion comes pretty close.
