Leiningen is actually pretty cool. It uses Maven under the hood (but you don't have to know that).
The nice thing is that if you suddenly decide you need to use a Java library (say, one of the Apache Commons libs), you just add one line to your project.clj file, do "lein deps" and boom, you can use the library in your project.
Having written quite a bit of software in Common Lisp, this is a welcome change.
- aerique 17y agoHuh?, how's this easier than adding a package entry to the depends-on form in an asdf-file in CL?
- LaPingvino 17y agoYou can add jars from any JVM language and use it directly with the great Clojure Java-interop.
- weavejester 17y agoLeiningen only uses Maven's dependency resolution API. Everything else is written in Clojure.
