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.
