Clojure Development Setup

TLDR to copy and paste a clojure dev setup on MacOS.

Install packages

brew install openjdk rlwrap clojure leiningen borkdude/brew/babashka babashka/brew/neil visual-studio-code

git config --global --list

Clear problem statement: steps you took, what you expected, what actually happened.

Efficient hypothesis: bisect the problem.

The docker images can all be run/built similar to the following.

Setup the variables per image.

GitHub Example

Clojure CLI tools (with deps.edn) allow for a built in way to create projects.

Commands that can be entered in the REPL for finding help, documentation, and more.

Load clojure REPL helper functions
