I would only add that from what I understand so far, it's pretty easy to 
use Clojure to define what Java would recognize as Java classes.  (Is this 
wrong?)

I find ABCL-Java interoperability to be workable but less pleasant.  I 
think this has to do with the fact that ABCL takes an existing language 
with its own type system, etc., and allows translation to/from Java, 
whereas Clojure types are built on Java types from the start.
