Didn't you just say that dependency management hooks into Maven? So doesn't that imply you need to get Maven set up before you can run a Clojure project?

> So doesn't that imply you need to get Maven set up before you can run a Clojure project? Not sure what is meant by "get Maven set up". With Clojure it does not involve any additional work, it's just built in to the Clojure runtime, and it goes ahead and fetches your dependencies either when you ask it to, or right before loading your program for the first time. I think they just use the Maven repositories, as in the servers themselves, not the Maven client software for Java, whatever that may be (I've never used it).

  Then surely, you need to set up a Maven server before you can use Clojure.
