## What it is
Mount is a Clojure and ClojureScript library for managing application state and lifecycle, allowing developers to start, stop, and reset stateful components like databases, web servers, and queues. It emphasizes REPL-friendly, reloadable development with declarative state definitions and dependency ordering.

## Use cases
- manage clojure app state lifecycle
- start and stop database connections in clojure
- reset application state during repl development
- define dependencies between stateful components
- swap mock implementations for testing
- run parts of an application without certain states

## When to choose
- building Clojure or ClojureScript apps with stateful resources like DBs and web servers
- you want REPL-driven, reloadable development without restarting the JVM
- you prefer a lightweight alternative to Component without protocols and records

## When to avoid
- working outside the Clojure ecosystem
- you need a full dependency injection framework with advanced wiring features
- your app is mostly pure functions with little managed state

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: state-management, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, backend, web-development
- platform: jvm, jvm-scripting
- tags: clojure, clojurescript, lifecycle, repl-driven-development, dependency-management
