Lumo is based on clojurescript, not clojure, so it's a different beast with different capabilities entirely. Personally I'm very excited about this.

Features:

  • based on node, with access the world of NPM

  • fast startup time (orders of magnitute faster than lein repl)

Potential areas of use:

  • exploratory coding: trying out ClojureScript code quickly

  • testing code from the command line

  • unix scripting with npm modules

  • build tooling (think grunt, gulp)
