What's the difference between Leiningen and Clojure CLI tools and how should I use them?
I'm playing around with Clojure recently. The most loved dependency management tool in the Clojure ecosystem is Leiningen to my knowledge. But I also found Clojure has provided CLI tools which probably could replace Leiningen. Due to the limitation of experience in Clojure, I do not quite understand the difference between Leiningen and those CLI tools. I heard those CLI tools is much lightweight, what does it mean? How should I use them?

CLI tools are more limited in scope than Leiningen - it's a small too which you can use to launch a REPL quickly. Combined with tools.deps.alpha it can be used to run code and pull in 3rd party dependencies. You can read more about it here: https://clojure.org/reference/deps_and_cli
Leiningen can do all of that, plus:
- create deployment artifacts (uberjars)
- start a REPL server or connect to a running one
- manage mixed projects (for example Clojure + Java or Clojure + Clojurescript)
- run arbitrary tasks in your project
- manage dependencies
- plugin support (linters, deployment tools)
- integrate with Maven
Sample project.clj is a bit overwhelming but shows all the things Lein can do.
At this point, Lein is more useful for building applications and libraries - as it has all the features you might need to do that. That said, CLI tools + tools.deps is quickly gaining traction and there are projects which add all the missing bits from Leiningen.
