I used Clojure before leiningen existed. It's very possible to run Clojure from the command line without it, to specify classpaths yourself, to manage dependencies by hand, even to build an executable JAR.

There's not much documentation for doing that stuff though, because (almost) nobody wants to do that. It's painful.

That is what I encountered when I first tried to learn Clojure.

I essentially gave up at that point. Installing the JRE is enough of a pain on its own.

In case it helps, my app actually bundles an entire Clojure environment (including the JRE) so you don't need anything else installed:
