Hello, we have both source and binary packages for Common Lisp (eg:
cl-ppcre and sbcl-ppcre), the source packages are for development and
binary packages for build applications.  I think we can do the same for
Clojure, and yes package them in source package (without AOT) by
default, and add binary packages when needed by actual applications.

I'm not using clojure myself, but the use cases for development and
applications distributation are both important for Guix, and manage
development environments better is a big sell point.
