Hi! I have just started learning Clojure and just learned about Clojure CLR. I maintain some legacy .NET Framework VB apps and so it caught my eye. Just curious about why/how people are using it.

Personally I'm interested in learning Clojure CLR so that I may eventually win over my .NET team members who (for some reason) are put off by the JVM.

I have read about people using Clojure CLR inside Excel but I think that's more experimental than professional.

Another use of Clojure CLR seems to be with Unity 3D via the Arcadia project: https://github.com/arcadia-unity

I haven't used Clojure CLR professionally, but I have ported a https://github.com/djblue/portal/tree/master/src/portal/runtime/clr to it. It felt like JVM Clojure for the most part. The main thing I struggled with was generics + structs during interop.
