Use (Foo/staticMethod ...) or (.method obj ...) instead. (ditto for (new Foo ...) vs (Foo. ...)) (def final-foo (Double/parseDouble (javax.swing.JOptionPane/showInputDialog "What is your foobar?"))) When you have nested calls on the first arg, you can flatten them using -> : (def final-foo (-> (javax.swing.JOptionPane/showInputDialog "What is your foobar?") Double/parseDouble)) You can even write: (def final-foo (-> "What is your foobar?" javax.swing.JOptionPane/showInputDialog Double/parseDouble)) but I'm unsure we gain in readability this time. -> proves also to be suseful when you are piling constructors: (java.io.BufferedReader. (java.io.InputStreamReader. an-input-stream "UTF-8")) can be rewritten: (-> an-input-stream (java.io.InputStreamReader. "UTF-8") java.io.BufferedReader.)
