Another very useful "getting started" plugin is lein-try:
https://github.com/rkneufeld/lein-try
Then you can do stuff like:
lein try [quil "1.6.0"]
....
;; taken from the quil getting started wiki:
(use 'quil.core)
(sketch :setup (fn [] (background 20) (ellipse 50 50 80 80)) :title
"The moon delights the night")
and you're off to the races without even needing a project created or
worrying about editing dependencies.
