As much as I wish Clojure on Android were a viable option, anyone with any sort of reading comprehension knows it's not. So while I don't doubt your criticism may have some sort of merit, you've managed to shoot your credibility in the foot, at least for this particular post.
I'm able to hack fully working UI without restarting my app in minutes while you are still clicking at your first 'button' in XML. Startup time is very slow, but Android nature makes it 'faster' next time, because Android does not terminate applications on exit by default.
So don't lie that 'it is not suited'. There are some fools that actually use it.
'knock knock!'
- Who's there?
'minute of silence'
'Knock Knock!'
- Who's there!?
'another minute of silence'
- Java
- Why did you knock twice?
- I didn't, but some other suspicious guy is standing here with raised arm and mouth open.
Based on my recent Clojure on Android experience.
