BBoot, the Fancy Clojure Build Framework

image

Boot is an alternative to Leiningen that provides the same functionality. Leiningen’s more popular (as of the summer of 2015), but I personally like to work with Boot because it’s easier to extend. This appendix explains Boot’s underlying concepts and guides you through writing your first Boot tasks. If you’re interested in using Boot to build projects right this second, check out its GitHub README (https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/) and its wiki (https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/wiki/).

NOTE

As of this writing, Boot has limited support for Windows. The Boot team welcomes contributions!
