It packages static analysis, editor navigation, refactoring, lint-backed diagnostics, formatting, semantic tokens, code lenses, and related commands behind the standard LSP interface. ### Project history The official repository was created in March 2018, and its GitHub releases include early release tags beginning in April 2018. The README describes the project as a Clojure and ClojureScript language server that takes a Cursive-like static-analysis approach to editor tooling. The project grew from editor integration into a broader tool surface: the official README says its goal is to bring editing tools to all editors and also expose functionality programmatically through a CLI and API. ### Adoption history Adoption followed the editor ecosystem rather than a single IDE. The project README describes clojure-lsp as the base for clients such as Emacs lsp-mode, VSCode Calva, vim, and other editors. The official installation docs document native binaries and distribution through a custom Homebrew tap, install script, Nix, Arch AUR, Scoop on Windows, and GitHub releases. The supplied input also lists brew, MacPorts, and Nix package-manager coverage. The README records Clojurists Together sponsorship in Q3 2021 and Q1 2022, a useful signal that the project had become shared Clojure tooling infrastructure rather than a one-editor plugin. ### How it is used Users install the clojure-lsp executable and connect it through an editor language client. Official settings docs describe project config in .lsp/config.edn, global config under ~/.config/clojure-lsp/config.edn or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/clojure-lsp/config.edn, initialization options from clients, and classpath-provided config. The official feature docs cover definition and reference lookup, rename, completion, Java support, code actions, code lenses, formatting, signature help, semantic tokens, call hierarchy, test and project trees, and diagnostics. ### Why package nerds care clojure-lsp matters to package-manager users because it turns a language ecosystem feature into a standalone, editor-neutral executable. The official installation page emphasizes GraalVM native binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with Homebrew, Nix, AUR, Scoop, and GitHub release paths. For Clojure tooling maintainers, it is also a convergence point: the settings docs describe classpath scanning for deps.edn, project.clj, build.boot, shadow-cljs.edn, bb.edn, and squint.edn, making it a bridge across several Clojure project formats. ### Timeline - 2018: GitHub repository created and early release tags published. - 2021: Clojurists Together sponsored clojure-lsp during Q3. - 2022: Clojurists Together sponsored clojure-lsp again during Q1. - 2026: Latest checked GitHub release was 2026.05.05-12.58.26, published on 2026-05-05. ### Related projects - Related Clojure tooling includes clj-kondo, which the settings docs say clojure-lsp uses for linting and analysis; editor clients such as Emacs lsp-mode, VSCode Calva, and vim integrations; and project tools including deps.edn, Leiningen, Boot, shadow-cljs, Babashka, and Squint. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
