## What it is
clojure-lsp is a Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation for Clojure and ClojureScript, providing static analysis-based editing features like autocomplete, navigation, diagnostics, and refactoring. It runs as a server behind editor clients (Emacs lsp-mode, VSCode Calva, vim) and also exposes a CLI and API for programmatic use.

## Use cases
- get IDE features for Clojure in any editor
- refactor Clojure code across a project
- jump to definition and find references in Clojure
- autocomplete and lint Clojure code
- rename symbols safely in a Clojure codebase
- run Clojure code analysis from the command line
- set up Clojure language server for Emacs or VSCode

## When to choose
- you write Clojure or ClojureScript and want LSP features in your editor
- you need editor-agnostic Clojure tooling with native binaries
- you want programmatic refactoring or analysis via CLI/API

## When to avoid
- you work in a language other than Clojure/ClojureScript
- you only use an IDE with its own built-in Clojure analysis like Cursive
- you need runtime debugging rather than static analysis
