Why I'm Productive in Clojure

Fast JVM startup is possible with a preloader like Nailgun. A Leiningen daemon is very easy to create. lein-cljsbuild automatically generates ClojureScript so you can use any editor and refresh your browser.

The JVM way of doing things is different but not inferior. You extend Leiningen with Leiningen plugins written in JVM languages, not with external tools. Yes, you can do everything you would ever want to do.

Grenchman is worth a look too: http://leiningen.org/grench.html

This has never worked for me with Clojure. I'd enjoy a more specific example.

Could you explain more? I specifically want 1 Lein daemon for all projects, not 1 per project. I want to be able to create new projects on the fly. I only want this feature because the ClojureScript build process is too slow to do on demand.
