There are multiple options to approach the Clojure* ecosystem. But yes, it is more focused towards dedicated and experienced developers overall. I use IntelliJ Idea + Cursive for development and that seems quite comfortable. I have a very rough sketch of the environment setup for a real app here: https://www.orgpad.com/s/hfxYQYkcLYV https://www.orgpad.com/s/hfxYQYkcLYV We use a similar setup to develop OrgPad itself. You can use Babashka https://github.com/babashka/babashka https://github.com/babashka/babashka for a quick and dirty setup to get you up and running quickly. That is also useful for scripting some things. You might also try shadow-cljs + ClojureScript, if you are more at home in the Node.js/ Browser JavaScript ecosystem and want to do something with it. There is a new "(Not)Babashka" but built on ClojureScript: https://github.com/borkdude/nbb https://github.com/borkdude/nbb that might be interesting as well. I have found this video by James Trunk: https://youtu.be/C-kF25fWTO8?t=848 https://youtu.be/C-kF25fWTO8?t=848 to have a very nice live coding example.
