A Vim plugin by Tim Pope providing Clojure REPL support via nREPL, with transparent auto-connection to Leiningen, Boot, and Clojure CLI projects. It offers inline code evaluation, a quasi-REPL command-line window, definition jumping, omnicomplete, and doc/source lookup.

Use cases

• evaluate Clojure code from a Vim buffer
• connect Vim to a running nREPL for live coding
• jump to Clojure function and namespace definitions from Vim
• get Clojure docstrings and source in the editor
• autocomplete Clojure code in Vim
• run Clojure tests asynchronously from Vim
• work with ClojureScript REPLs via Piggieback

When to choose

• you develop Clojure or ClojureScript in Vim and want tight REPL integration
• you want automatic nREPL connection with Leiningen, Boot, or Clojure CLI projects
• you prefer inline evaluation over a separate REPL window

When to avoid

• you use Neovim and prefer a Lua-native solution like conjure
• you use Emacs, where CIDER is the standard Clojure environment
• you need a full IDE experience with debugging and refactoring
