Have you looked at mjolnir[0]? It was part of a presentation at Clojure West this year. I'm not sure if the video is out yet, but the slides are[1].

bah just as I was finishing my register allocator...

My Firefox history indicates that I have read the Mjolnir page before, but I don't recall why I didn't use it at the time. Taking another look :-P. Thanks for the link!

Author of Mjolnir here. There's some major updates going on in the "datomic" branch. If you're thinking of using Mjolnir in a project, you'll want to keep an eye on that branch over the next few months.

With Datomic, the inference engine is completely re-written in datalog. This allows for a massive code clean-up, and the code in that branch is much cleaner.
