    Install on macOS

    • (Optional) brew install --cask temurin@21 - install Temurin 21 (formerly AdoptOpenJDK)
    • brew install clojure/tools/clojure
    • brew install leiningen
    • (Optional) brew install borkdude/brew/clj-kondo : Clojure linter
    • (Optional) brew install clojure-lsp/brew/clojure-lsp-native : Clojure LSP
    • Prefer get over nth 1

    using nth to retrieve an element from a list is slower than using get to
    retrieve an element from a vector. This is because Clojure has to traverse
    all n elements of a list to get to the nth, whereas it only takes a few hops
    at most to access a vector element by its index.
