I'm trying to exit the REPL.

I use (. System exit 0) or (System/exit 0), but that causes an error: 

Exception in thread "Thread-3" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException

Is there another way to exit the REPL? How I can resolve this error?

You can send the 'end-of-file' character.

You can just press ctrl-d (*nix) or ctrl-z (Windows) to exit the REPL.
