I have nothing with OpenGL programming, but the scope of this library is to go to an higher level of abstraction. While Penumbra provide an idiomatic wrapping of OpenGL primitives, it requires you know at least some basic of computer graphics, like transformation matrix, the matrix stack and so on..
clj3D was made to allows more or less everyone to draw something on the screen, keeping the dirty under the carpet :)
Very interesting, I love what you did, a true show of how you can make things simple and powerful with clojure, but having worked with jme (which by contrast was a display of everything wrong with java, although this may have changed in the past 10 months) I think that a more interesting option would be to expand on the ideas of penumbra.
Either way, whatever direction you decide to follow, this is a great project, and I would be glad to use it some time in the near future.
