Hmmm... works for me with:

$ java -cp "${HOME}/.guix-profile/share/java/clojure-1.8.0.jar" clojure.main

(Note: java -> /gnu/store/4lnjmsr4szhqyixy238xjl83k8h5f0ck-icedtea-3.2.0/bin/java)

Also works within guix environment --ad-hoc clojure.

I was unable to use that command with that exact environment (clojure doesn't propagate any java), but it does work when icedtea is added i.e.

guix environment --container --ad-hoc clojure icedtea

I'm not expert enough to comment on whether the clojure package itself needs to be changed, but this is a workaround at least.

The Clojure compilation target is the Jvm. Any Clojure based software needs a Jvm in order to run

And the Clojure REPL is a Clojure based program. Without a Jvm it won' t run.

I don' t remember now if the compiler is written in Java or in Clojure. Anyway, the compiler too needs a Jvm in order to run.

That is to say that as far as I understand both Clojure and Guix, a Java runtime should be a propagated input of any Clojure package.
