idiomatic Clojure wrapper from the developer of Aleph - https://github.com/ztellman/calx
I have to say, running Clojure on instances like these for a couple hours at a time to get a sense of what Clojure offers in terms of concurrency and parallelism on a 8-core machine with gobs of RAM is great fun - http://dosync.posterous.com/clojure-multi-core-amazon-cluste....
It's the kind of computing excitement I imagine Lisp Machine users had.
