Fred, This is an old thread, but did you end up using Repast, Mason, or another Java library with Clojure? I've been doing agent-based modeling in NetLogo and pure Clojure separately, but would be interested in exploring a more integrated approach.
I have written a proof-of-concept NetLogo extension that allows calling Clojure from NetLogo, and may develop it further for a specific set of models. However: Despite the fact that I think NetLogo is a great programming environment for certain kinds of modeling, I don't think that NetLogo integration with Clojure will ever by a good general strategy. NetLogo is too much of a standalone tool. A better strategy, off the top of my head, would be using Clojure with one of the Java-based ABM libraries, such as the others you listed. My guess is that some of them are easier to integrate with Clojure than others. (I would say that some Java libraries require more *Javafication* in your Clojure code than others do.) Anyone else using Clojure with one of an ABM library? Thanks.
