I've been developing a library that wraps Clojure's collections for use in 
Java 8 development:

https://github.com/rschmitt/collider

http://rschmitt.github.io/collider/javadoc/

Like my other major Java project, DynamicObject 
<http://rschmitt.github.io/dynamic-object/>, the goal here is two-fold:

(1) Bring the best of Clojure to Java developers (without ruining it), 
thereby making functional programming easier and more familiar
(2) Make the Clojure jar file as common as possible on people's classpaths, 
thereby lowering the bar to Clojure adoption

I'd appreciate any feedback people have on the design: how things are 
structured, named, documented, tested, and so on. I haven't decided to 
stabilize the library yet, so there's still time for breaking changes to be 
made.

Incidentally, the main project I'm aware of that's similar to this is clj-ds 
<https://github.com/krukow/clj-ds>, a standalone partial fork of Clojure. 
That also looks like a good approach to me, and fairly well-executed; it 
just has different tradeoffs. In particular, I like being able to target 
Java 8. I also like being able to wrap whatever version of Clojure is on 
the runtime classpath.
