This library is a bridge between Clojure and Erlang using the library JInterface.
The library is a simple wrapper around JInterface. I'm writing it as a way to learn Clojure.
So far the capabilities are really simply. My goal is to add more features while I learn more Clojure. Feel free to comment on the coding style, on how I can improve it to be more idiomatic Clojure.
First launch erlang with the following command:
erl -sname a
Start the Clojure REPL
Then at the Clojure REPL:
(use 'closerl.core)
(def self (otp-self "b"))
(def peer (otp-peer "a@mrhyde"))
Once we have the nodes we can try to connect them:
(def conn (otp-connect self peer))
Then we do a rpc_call to obtain the date on the remote node:
(otp-rpc-call conn "erlang" "date")
And we call receive to fetch the reply:
(otp-rpc-receive conn)

Use mvn to install JInterface. Adapt the following command to suit your specific configuration
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.ericsson.otp -DartifactId=erlang -Dversion=1.5.3 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/jinterface-1.5.3/priv/OtpErlang.jar
Obtain the closerl source code
git clone http://github.com/videlalvaro/closerl.git
cd closerl
lein deps
