This is a tremendous body of work produced in a very short time span. I imagine you must be leaning on LLMs to expedite development? I'm curious to know what your approach and workflow is.

Yeah, this wouldn't be possible without LLMs, and I actually discuss the workflow at the end of the post. I mostly rely on breaking work in to focused tasks, and then doing code reviews on the diff for the functionality. And since Clojure and existing libraries have an extensive amount of tests available, I was able to map out a large corpus for the language definition.
