shadowcljs

shadow-cljs is a ClojureScript compiler that runs on the JVM. It offers a fast, feature-rich alternative to the standard ClojureScript compiler, particularly for frontend development. Its primary goal is to provide a streamlined development experience for ClojureScript, enabling developers to build and iterate on web applications efficiently.

Key features of shadow-cljs include hot code reloading, which allows changes to be reflected in the browser almost instantaneously without manual refreshes, significantly speeding up the development cycle. It also supports multiple build targets, including browser, Node.js, and even native applications. shadow-cljs integrates seamlessly with popular frontend frameworks like React and Vue.js, making it a versatile choice for modern web development.

The compiler provides excellent tooling support, including robust debugging capabilities and easy integration with common build tools and package managers. It aims to make the transition from other JavaScript build tools to ClojureScript as smooth as possible by offering familiar workflows and conventions. shadow-cljs has gained popularity within the ClojureScript community for its performance, flexibility, and developer-centric design.
