Clojure solves this problem in a very simple way: Not at all. Two Reasons: There is no way to create a class with private members in clojure. 'private members' exist because of lexical scoping and don't require special constructs like 'private' etc. (javascript has 'private members' too because of that)
The other reason is even more simple. Because locals/parameters (and autogenerated fields) are immutable, there is no need to access a private member from outside its class. The field's value can just be copied into the closure's class. Generally there is less emphasis on (strict) encapsulation in clojure, e.g. there are namespace-private variables in clojure, but they just aren't exported but still can be accessed from outside.
