I think all noobs should still get lein. (Install it in 1 second with your package manager)

That way they can run `lein new <project-name>` to get the app skeleton created. Then open it with Lighttable.

In fact, anyone that wants to check out the Clojure version of Sinatra/Flask should run `lein new compojure <project-name>` and it'll create it from a template. Then run `lein ring server` from the project root to start the dev server.

Someone happened to tell me those incantations my first day with Clojure and I was instantly productive.



If a newbie knows what a package manager is and has it set up on their system, then they're probably not the level of noob this article is going for.
