Clojure Extension is a free Chrome add-on developed by Big Solutions that adds a convenient option to the context menu for evaluating selected Clojure code.

If you are a fan of Clojure and often find yourself reading blogs about it, you may have encountered the need to start up a REPL and copy-paste a code snippet just to see how it will evaluate. With Clojure Extension, this hassle is eliminated.

Once you install this extension, you will find a new option in your browser's context menu - "Eval as Clojure". When you come across a piece of Clojure code that you want to evaluate, simply select it, right-click, and choose this option. Instantly, you will receive a notification with the evaluation results.

No more need for manual copying and pasting or starting up a separate REPL. Clojure Extension streamlines the evaluation process and saves you time.

To see how it works, take a look at the provided screenshot or install the extension and try it out for yourself!
