Project Management with Leiningen or Gradle

[Dan]

Aside from the fact that Leiningen is coded in Clojure and Gradle in
Groovy are there any other noteworthy differences? Are there any
benefits of using Leiningen over Gradle and vice-versa? Thanks.

Best,
Dan

Hi,

There are a lot of plugins available for leiningen, which add clojure centric functionality like searching on clojars etc. gradle on the other comes with a lot of pre-made plugins for other languages and tasks, scala, groovy, java, war, jetty, etc. And it picks up a lot drive lately.

So it basically depends on what you want to do, I guess. If you have to be flexible and integrate with other languages or interface with some legacy build system, gradle is certainly worth a look. If you "just" use clojure, leiningen gets you up and running in no time.

Sincerely
Meikel
