He mentioned that he's using the add-lib3 branch of tools.deps.alpha to get hot-loading dependencies. If you use lein instead, the pomegranate library enables it.

The only time I need to restart is when I load new libraries but you can use https://github.com/clj-commons/pomegranate

Full-featured test runner: https://github.com/lambdaisland/kaocha

If you install neil (https://github.com/babashka/neil), you can do `neil add test` which will automatically set up cognitect-labs/test-runner in your project. Then you can run tests with `neil test` (just an alias, you don't have to use it).

> I used Kit to bootstrap this project and the way it set up tests doesn't even work, but this was what most people recommended to me for starting a Clojure project

I don't really like the approach that Kit takes and prefer something more opinionated like Biff. I'd love to hear your feedback if you do end up trying out Biff.

run tests using kaocha.

But you can use other test runners, such as https://github.com/lambdaisland/kaocha
