About:
Leiningen is a comprehensive build automation and dependency management tool for Clojure projects. It simplifies project configuration, library dependency resolution, and task execution. Its primary value is providing a convention-over-configuration approach that streamlines the development workflow for Clojure applications.

Key Features:

Automated dependency management and classpath construction
Project scaffolding and lifecycle management
Extensible via plugins for custom tasks
Integrated test execution and packaging
Support for multi-project builds

Use Cases:

Managing dependencies for Clojure libraries and applications
Automating build, test, and deployment pipelines
Scaffolding new project structures with templates

Alternatives:

tools.deps – Official Clojure CLI tools with a more minimal, composable approach focused on scripting and ad-hoc tasks
Boot – Build tool that treats builds as pipelines of tasks, offering more flexibility but a steeper learning curve
