Chestnut is a Leiningen application template — for Clojure and ClojureScript projects — that gives you a full development workflow out of the box. It includes live reloading, REPL-connected development, Figwheel integration, testing setup, and basic backend/frontend scaffolding. While Chestnut it's quite "complete" in a sense, it also tries to be minimal. Boilerplate code is kept to a minimum, and there is only just enough structure to get you started. How you build and structure your app from there is up to you. Chestnut should appeal to beginners because it allows you to get started quickly and with minimal baggage; it should appeal to more seasoned developers because it provides all the "obvious" configuration for a comfortable setup, without being so opinionated that it becomes a straitjacket.
