As a datapoint I toyed with using a Clojure REPL instead of Beanshell a
while ago. Clojure is better maintained than Beanshell was my thought,
also the impedance mismatch is less between Clojure and Elisp than
Beanshell and Elisp.
Ideally I wanted something that didn't require downloading dependencies,
but I didn't find a solution, so went with Clojure.
Another thing that might be interesting is tighter integration between
CEDET and Maven. I think maybe Malabar Mode is in that direction but
haven't looked closer.
