Apropos Lean on Java from this thread https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C02CPM2R1KK/p1756584062717849?thread_ts=1756562020.185489&cid=C02CPM2R1KK Calva uses deps.clj as a clojure-fallback to make it a You only need Java story to use Calva to work with Clojure projects (and Calva bundles small getting started projects). The missing piece here is clojure-lsp, which wants a clojure binary on the PATH, or it will complain loudly. It would be so nice if clojure-lsp also could lean on Java as a fallback. Funding was mentioned elsewhere, and I would suggest we look for ways to fund @ericdallo and @borkdude to be able to focus on this.

Integrating deps.clj into lsp is pretty easy to do probably

yeah, interesting, we would need some kind of fallback logic but is possible
