…pick up ClojureScript from scratch, from zero Clojure experience.
I got my own answer actually, but I guess it might be different?
I started with both the lein figwheel template as well as chestnut.
Chestnut was attractive to me as I wanted a simultaneous clj and cljs environments, so that’s the template I know the best.
Alternatively, I hear (but haven’t looked into it so much) that boot scripts are a very minimal way to get a cljs build up quickly

Well, my own answer is shadow-cljs since it’s just a cljs compiler, rather than something like a task manager with plugin systems to learn.
can’t you use figwheel on top of chestnut? #newbie here
replying to myself “It provides a solid default configuration for a REPL driven workflow, a ClojureScript setup with separate dev/prod/test builds, Figwheel integration (…)” #yes
Yes indeed - I was listing the lein templates that I looked at when starting to pick up clojurescript. Figwheel has its own lein template. EG: lein new figwheel hello-world
I quickly was recommended Chestnut as it hosted both clojure and clojurescript development simultaneously.
