And here the great post about how that works in detail:

All the kudos to Jonathan Palardy, that changed my work with vim
and clojure and I hope it will change yours too.

I hope you are aware, that VimClojure can do
all this. You can send expressions to a Clojure
instance, display docstrings, macroexpand
forms.

The screen approach:
+ works also for other languages
- not easily portable to Windows
- only one-way: it can only send commands
  but cannot read the result
- it clutters the history of your repl with unrelated
  commands

The VimClojure approach:
- works only with Clojure
+ works also well on Windows
+ works two-way: you get features like (halfway)
  smart omni-completion, a namespace browser
  (which is on the TODO list for quite some time),
  go to source location, ...
+ Uses parallel connections: your repl stays clean
Big- uses Clojure itself, so the file needs to be on
  the classpath and must be loadable without side
  effects (and in particular w/o syntax errors!)

I prefer the VC approach, although the last point
may be of concern to you. For me it works quite
well.

Sincerely
Meikel
