You can use ShimDandy[1] to load multiple Clojure runtimes in the same
JVM, and call into those runtimes from Java. That's what Immutant[2] and
the Clojure language module for Vert.x[3] use currently to achieve
runtime isolation.

One gotcha with loading multiple Clojure runtimes is memory leaks - if
you intend to load and unload more than a couple of runtimes, you'll
quickly exhaust permgen. The workaround there is to wait for Clojure
1.6.0 (assuming CLJ-1125[4] gets applied), or use a fork of Clojure that
has the CLJ-1125 fixes in it[5].

The ShimDandy docs are completely non-existent at this point, but an
example of usage is [6]. If you have interest in using it, I'm happy to
help you get started, and to write some docs.
