Can I use Clojure to build a mobile chat application?

My project is to use build a simple chat client and I thinking of using Clojure since it is the language am currently learning. And am liking it.

I don't know whether this is possible and what the possibilities are.

I need advice or suggestions on what projects else I can do with Clojure as am just learning it now and would need some more experience to decide.

Have you looked at Clojurescript? There are definitely possibilities here, though they can get quite involved. One possibility is to use something like react-native or om to actually target the native platforms via javascript.

Probably a bit too advanced to start, but worth being aware of for a broader approach to targeting native platforms with clojure code.

Plain Clojure is normally compiled to JVM bytecode but there's a project porting it to Android: http://clojure-android.info/.
