Idunno, I read the whole homepage and I don't really know where to go to download it. Is "clone and run Meson" what you meant by "one click install"?

On my distro I just do pacman -S clojure and I have a working clojure environment, on everything else it's usually available as one package. Not much of a "nightmare" to my eyes, at least when compared to Janet, which doesn't tell you how to install it anywhere on the website.
