shadow-cljs is a ClojureScript build tool designed with simplicity and modern JavaScript interoperability in mind. Distributed via npm, it handles compilation, hot-reloading, module targets (ESM, Node, Browser), and tight integration with JS tooling. Creating your project can be done quickly using the npx create-cljs-project utility. npx is part of npm and lets us run utility scripts quickly without worrying about installing them first. The installer will create a basic project scaffold and install the latest version of shadow-cljs in the project. When building actual projects we need to configure the build first and create at least one source file.
