You should be using Boot and ClojureScript

Hi, I'm the author.

I used to use Leiningen for this, but found that it was hard to understand what project.clj was actually doing, to get figwheel, etc working. So once I figured out how well boot fit this use-case, I wanted to share the love!

I applaud trying to spread the news about these awesome technologies, but personally I think it would be much more helpful to _not_ hide what's going on behind a template generator. The build.boot file itself is easy enough to write[1], and that is really the huge value proposition with Boot vs. Leiningen plugins.

I agree with you that there is tons of value in digging into the various boot tasks that make this workflow/tutorial possible. The reason I decided not to is that the linked tutorial on modern-cljs# 1-3 does a great job of that!
