Thanks for this. But I skipped it and setup conjure with neovim.

I use Neovim & Conjure, its very responsive. I https://practical.li/clojure/data-inspector/portal/ to explore the REPL results (using portal-wrap ntelp middleware), especially when a large collection is returned. I havent got LSP namespace renaming to work from Neovim, so I do that via the command line. https://practical.li/neovim/clojure-repl-workflow/refactor-tools/#rename-namespace

Brave Clojure is a fun book to learn Clojure. Note that although Chapter 2 on Emacs is interesting, some if the config examples may be a little dated. You can https://practical.li/clojure/clojure-editors/ with the "Brave Clojure" book examples.

The Brave Clojure book uses Leiningen as the Clojure tool, which is still a valid approach. Although many in the community have switched to use the Clojure CLI tool, which is maintained by the Clojure development team. I wrote a https://practical.li/clojure/clojure-cli/ (and created a series of https://practical.li/clojure/clojure-cli/practicalli-config/) There are even more details on the http://Clojure.org website. The Clojure code is the same, regardless of which tool is used.
