## AI overview

A tutorial for assembling a live-reloading, auto-compiling ClojureScript development setup with Boot. It explains the required dependencies, configuration, and task composition, including starting a REPL and passing the fileset.

## Source excerpt

My long-standing complaint about Clojurescript is that it's a pain to get running. People who prefer Leiningen seem to have gotten a handle on this with figwheel; however, those of us who have jumped on the Boot train (it's newer and therefore better!) still have to do some assembly to get the live-reloading auto-compiling repl setup that's become the standard for Clojurescript development. Like many problems in the Clojure universe, this is less a problem of technology and more a problem of approachable documentation. With just a little bit of configuration and some understanding, you too can assemble that perfect Clojurescript dev setup using Boot.
