Running the batch file that comes with the project works for me and has worked on a variety of versions of Windows. I haven't had as much luck with the "clj" tool.

I don't see who the "clj" shell script is somehow "part of Clojure" any more than Leiningen or Boot. IMHO it's just a shell script and it works similarly to the other tools, except not in any way cross platform.

Yes but Leiningen is not distributed with Clojure. And as far as I remember there is no installer for Leiningen on Windows. Right now I find it is available through Chocolatey, but the main Leiningen page asks users to download and run a batchfile. That's a very strange instruction to ask a windows user to do: Running batch files downloaded from the internet goes against so much advice on computer security that is given to users.

Neither is clj, for some reason, and it installs the same way as Leiningen. ;-) From their website:

"Then run:

Invoke-Expression (New-Object System.Net.WebClient) .DownloadString('https://download.clojure.org/install/win-install-1.10.1.536....

There's also no clj installer for Windows although there is a Scoop package.
