(Of course, it's still open-source.) https://github.com/clojure/clojure/tree/master/src/jvm/cloju... I think translating the rest is a slow ongoing project (as performance, etc. gets up to par.)

Aware of that; still feels like you can get pretty deep in the language without hitting the java. It's still IMHO worlds away from always seeing C (vs. the language you're actually working in at the moment) whenever you open up the source
