Calling Scala from Clojure

In this recipe, we will integrate Clojure and Scala. We will configure a mixing project using Leiningen.

Getting ready

We create a project by lein new clojure-scala and project.clj as follows:

(defproject clojure-scala "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT" 
  :description "FIXME: write description" 
  :url "http://example.com/FIXME" 
  :license {:name "Eclipse Public License" 
            :url "http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html"} 
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.8.0"] 
                 [org.scala-lang/scala-library "2.11.7"]] 
  :plugins [[io.tomw/lein-scalac "0.1.2"]] 
  :scala-source-path "src/scala" 
  :scala-version "2.11.7" 
  :prep-tasks ["scalac"] 
  :main clojure-scala.core 
  )

After modifying the project.clj, start the REPL.
