How to end / Force a close to a program (in Clojure)

I am a pretty decent programmer in Java, however I am new to programming in Clojure.

In Java, to force an exit of a program, the code used is System.exit(0). Is there any equivalent to this code is Clojure?

For a more complete reference, you call any Java classes static methods by specifying 

(my.package.class/staticMethodName arg1 arg2 etc)

java.lang.* is loaded automagically for you already though if it where not you could call it with 

(java.lang.System/exit 0)

Given that part of the attractiveness of Clojure is that you can use Java class libraries, why not just do:

(System/exit 0)
