I run https://practical.li/clojure/clojure-cli/repl/, typically using rebel and a few other tools and then use cider connect. For most projects I now use a Makefile so I can always do make repl regardless of what tool and configuration the project is set up with. I haven't considered babashka for running a repl as Clojure CLI (and previously Leiningen) has been simpler to work with, although would be interested to understand how to do this and what are the benefits & constraints

I’m also currently using various tools in a separate terminal, but I’m trying to ultimately run all commands from emacs

I now run make from projectile, it is quite convenient 🙂

hmmm I could try to add my custom project type to cider

The cider-jack-in command is relatively configurable using a .dir-locals.el configuration,which can also include some elisp code, althoughI assume there are some limits https://practical.li/spacemacs/clojure-development/project-configuration/

thanks, that looks like what I need!

cider-jack-in-clj works with Babashka projects that are using bb.edn according to the cider docs, otherwise it seems babashka should be started with an nrepl server on the command line https://docs.cider.mx/cider/platforms/babashka.html

I use a lot of repls running remotely over a tunnel

and I have bb wrappers that allow me to start those tunnels

so basically need to run a command + provide a host + port to cider-connect

I think I have fugured out how using nrepl-start-server-process + cider-nrepl-connect
