Kibit is a static code analyzer for Clojure, ClojureScript, and related variants that uses core.logic to find code patterns that could be rewritten more idiomatically. It is distributed primarily as a Leiningen plugin and suggests replacements like using `when` instead of an `if` with a nil else branch.

Use cases

• suggest idiomatic Clojure rewrites in my codebase
• lint Clojure projects for non-idiomatic code patterns
• run static analysis as part of a CI build for Clojure
• find places where I should use when instead of if
• analyze ClojureScript source files for improvements

When to choose

• you maintain an existing Clojure codebase already using kibit or lein-kibit
• you want logic-based idiomatic rewrite suggestions for Clojure code

When to avoid

• starting a new project - the maintainers recommend Splint, clj-kondo, or Eastwood instead
• you need fast analysis or configurable rules, since kibit's core.logic engine is slow and in maintenance mode
