My takeaway from the presentation at Clojure West is that Pedestal is a generic perception library, and rendering UIs is just one of many things it will be used for.
Also, this is very alpha stuff, so many of the details are yet to be worked out.

Pedestal is a culmination of those efforts into a new set of libraries. Some of the code from other projects inspired what there is today, but an even greater portion was created from scratch to make it more generally applicable. We haven't had the chance to use this incantation of the ideas in production yet, but we wholly intend to. We hope this experience, and that of the community, can help us bring this to beta or fully production ready.
