Looks like a nice side project. But the first question that popped into my mind was, doesn't SonarQube already covers these rules?

My thoughts too: Sonar, or Checkstyle+PMD+FindBugs, is already ingrained in many of the larger codebases I've worked with.

Of course this is purely anecdotal since I've only worked with +-30 over the years.

I like the aesthetic of using Clojure to fix Java.

Small standalone command-line tools are a good place for a language like that, although it's a shame Clojure takes so long to start.

You're pretty much able to keep REPLs open for days if you wish, so if you amortize that 3 second startup over a week, it's not all that serious.

That said, fair point, faster startup is always better.
