joker VS graalvm-clojure

There’s also joker. Haven’t used it but I’ve known about it for a while. Bills itself as a Clojure-like built with Go.

There is also joker. A Clojure interpreter written in Go.

See Joker perhaps: https://github.com/candid82/joker

Was there something about Joker [0] that you didn't find suitable?

Using graalvm when possible. More details (finding out if possible for your project) here: https://github.com/clj-easy/graalvm-clojure/tree/master/

I haven't yet, no, but I've just barely gotten started. There's a repo here that tracks compatibility of several Clojure libraries: https://github.com/BrunoBonacci/graalvm-clojure

Even though there's no batteries-included way to manage Clojure projects, the community has put together a lot of great tools and guides the cover all the bases. The community seems to be converging around the official Clojure CLI and associated tooling as the preferred way to manage Clojure projects. It's extremely well designed, like most things Clojure, but, also like most things Clojure, it's very bare-bones. It's not an all-in-one command-line utility you can use to manage your whole project, like the angular or rails CLIs (which I didn't appreciate nearly enough in my former life 😢). You need to configure the Clojure CLI itself for it to be useful, but luckily that's really straightforward to do. What follows are the steps I did to make a new skeleton command-line app in Clojure. It follows the steps from this great guide, but I included the actual commands here because I use the Clojure CLI (clj) instead of lein to run things.
