Not really. There's a lot of tooling in the Clojure world so it can be a bit overwhelming. Leiningen (lein) is a build tool that helps with all sort of stuff besides compiling, eg: generating uberjars. In the olden days it was the only tool around. Later it appeared boot and, more recently, https://clojure.org/guides/deps_and_cli. Deps uses a deps.edn file where all the project configuration is stored. And neil seems to be a little helper to add stuff to that file in a command line fashion.

I see thanks for the answers
