Community volunteers maintain Getting Started documentation for a number of different tools and approaches. Some of the most commonly used tools include:
Editors provide Clojure support via packages and extensions. While these vary in features, all of them are sufficient for Clojure development, so choose the editor that works best for you.
CIDER - Emacs packages for interactive programming in Clojure (REPL), including clojure-mode major mode providing syntax highlighting, indentation, navigation and refactor support.
inf-clojure - basic interaction with a Clojure subprocess (REPL), based on the popular inferior-lisp
clojure-ts-mode treesitter implementation of clojure-mode (in development)
Calva extension for interactive Clojure(script) development - docs, project
VSpaceCode Spacemacs like keybindings with Calva support
Cursive Clojure(Script) IDE that understands code, advanced structural editing & refactor support (licenced software)
Clojure Extras plugin - plugin with additional features for Clojure development
clojure-lsp-intellij - plugin for static analysis via clojure-lsp
Conjure interactive environment to evaluate Clojure (and other languages)
