I've stared to dive in to Clojure over the last week, and I have been looking at how to implement an async WebSocket server.

It seems the Clojure way is to use something like Aleph (https://github.com/ztellman/aleph, http://blip.tv/clojure/zach-tellman-aleph-a-framework-for-as...), which is a library that implements channels like Go; however, Go's channels are first-class constructs built into the language.
