Clojure Tools

Community volunteers maintain Getting Started documentation for a number of different tools and approaches. Some of the most commonly used tools include:

Editors

• Emacs

  • CIDER - extends Emacs with support for interactive programming in Clojure. The features are centered around cider-mode, an Emacs minor-mode that complements clojure-mode - project

  • clojure-mode - an Emacs major mode that provides font-lock (syntax highlighting), indentation, navigation and refactoring support for the Clojure(Script)

  • inf-clojure - provides basic interaction with a Clojure subprocess (REPL), based on ideas from the popular inferior-lisp package

  • Installation and configuration guides

    • Clojure for the Brave and True installation guide

    • Practicalli guide to Spacemacs

  • Distributions and Clojure-friendly configuration setups

    • Spacemacs

    • Prelude

    • Doom Emacs

• Visual Studio Code with Calva - docs, project

• IntelliJ with Cursive

• Vim with Fireplace or Vim-Iced

• Neovim with Conjure

• Atom with Chlorine - project

• Light Table

• Sublime Text with Clojure Sublimed or Tutkain

• Eclipse Counterclockwise (inactive)

• Nightcode (inactive)

Dependency management

• clj and deps.edn - clj is a tool for managing dependencies, running a REPL, and executing Clojure programs, built by the Clojure core team

• Leiningen - an extensible build tool that provides dependency management, REPL support, testing, packaging, deployment, and many other capabilities

• Boot - build tooling for Clojure: instead of a special-purpose DSL, Boot supplies abstractions and libraries you can use to automate nearly any build scenario with the full power of the Clojure language

Library repositories and catalogs

• Clojars - Clojure-focused Maven repository

• Clojure Toolbox - a categorized index of Clojure libraries
