I cannot see any problem with using kibit.

Quite often my experience when learning a new language is "Am I doing this right? Or even close to right?"

If kibit can turn your code into idiomatic Clojure then you have a tool for exploring your solutions and how close they look to Clojure as it might be written by a native.

It can also prompt questions "Why do it this way rather than this way?" which could be a good learning opportunity.

I see no harm, only benefit.
