Well, for the first time since the langauge was created you can now do `brew install clojure`, and then `clj` on the commandline and get a repl. I would have loved something that painless when I was learning Clojure.
$ brew install leiningen
$ lein repl
And then you learn that not everyone use leiningen ... and things become a bit more confusing than necessary for some people, especially beginners
In fact it used to find leiningen instead of clojure; possibly clojure didn't exist as a brew tap before.
That isn't always trivial.

I’m not sure I understood your comment. Parent’s code block has two lines: the first one installs Leiningen; the second one starts its repl.
This is just another layer in the toolchain to contend with, and since Clojure is built on the JVM, the toolchain is already quite bloated.
