    I know backward compatibility with Java 5 is
    important for the clojure world...
Why is that? (I googled but didn't find anything relevant.)

Since Clojure 1.6, Java 6 is the minimum requirement.

I'm sure there is a discussion somewhere, but I expect that there are quite a few people who run Java on commercial J2EE app servers and the like which don't officially support newer JDKs.
