clj-kondo is a static analyzer and linter for Clojure, ClojureScript, and EDN code that detects errors and style issues without executing the program. It ships as a fast GraalVM native binary and integrates with editors and CI pipelines.

Use cases

• lint clojure code for arity errors and unused vars
• catch mistakes in clojure code while typing in the editor
• check clojurescript and edn files for unresolved symbols
• enforce clojure style guide rules in CI
• find redundant do and let wrappers and unused imports
• type check clojure code statically

When to choose

• you write Clojure or ClojureScript and want fast, accurate linting
• you need static analysis of Clojure code in CI or an editor
• you want a fast native binary with no JVM startup cost

When to avoid

• you need linting for languages other than Clojure/ClojureScript/EDN
• you want runtime or dynamic analysis rather than static checks
