They not only help to generate a deployable artifact for the application, but also manage the dependencies of the application throughout its development life cycle. Leiningen and Boot (http://boot-clj.com/) are two widely used build tools for Clojure. Since Clojure is a hosted language for JVM, Clojure build tools primarily generate JARs as deployable artifacts for all Clojure projects.
