What's the state of Clojure on App Engine? I want to build a Clojure app on App Engine, but it's unclear if Clojure and App Engine play well together. For example, in a recent blog post, Adrian Mouat said that App Engine doesn't support Clojure concurrency, such as agents (http://www.adrianmouat.com/bit-bucket/2012/08/clojure-and-go...). However, GAE Java supports threads as of the App Engine 1.6.4 release (http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/wiki/SdkForJavaRele...). Is the Clojure concurrency model fully supported on App Engine? (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12772824/is-clojure-concu...) App Engine Magic (https://github.com/gcv/appengine-magic) is a library that makes it easier to use GAE with Clojure, but it hasn't been updated since GAE SDK 1.6.3.1. There is also gaeshi (https://github.com/slagyr/gaeshi), which is a newer GA

E library for Clojure that's a little easier to work with, but it doesn't have much documentation or cover all the services. Does anyone have experience on how using Clojure on App Engine plays out in practice and any advice on which path to take?

I'm the author of appengine-magic. Rather flattered to see this on the front page of HN. If you have any questions about appengine-magic, or running Clojure on App Engine, I'll answer as best I can. One thing to keep in mind: the latest version of the App Engine SDK is fully supported in the development (version 0.4.0) branch of appengine-magic (https://github.com/gcv/appengine-magic/tree/v0.4.0). I'm not quite ready to finalize and release this branch, but it's stable enough for in-development applications.

I'd like to take the opportunity to plug my own appengine-magic library: http://github.com/gcv/appengine-magic It abstracts away almost all the boilerplate App Engine for Java requires, and makes Lispy, interactive, REPL-based development trivial to set up for App Engine. I have not yet finished making Clojure wrappers for all of App Engine's services, but datastore, memcache, and user authentication are already available. I'll be giving a talk about it at the NYC Clojure Users Group meeting this coming Wednesday (October 20th).
