It doesn’t use nREPL at all making it the simplest solution possible (meaning 
you can’t use it to connect to remote processes).
The value of monroe is pretty questionable IMO as you can use CIDER as a 
replacement for monroe anyways (basic CIDER features work even without the 
cider-nrepl middleware).

How does this differ to monroe https://github.com/sanel/monroe?

At Clojure/conj I had the chance to shake Rich Hickey’s hand and exchange a few 
words with him. When I asked him whether he currently uses CIDER or Cursive for 
Clojure development he replied that he preferred a simpler solution - 
clojure-mode & inferior-lisp-mode. I was a bit surprised because clojure-mode’s 
integration with inferior-lisp-mode sucks (big time). It has always been 
extremely limited and was never really improved/extended. It has no Clojure 
specific features and no code completion. I felt that Rich and all the people 
using inferior-lisp-mode deserved something better, so I quickly put together 
inf-clojure.

inf-clojure provides some Clojure specific features like showing a var’s doc or 
source, derives some core functionality from clojure-mode and even features 
basic code-completion (and company-mode support). That’s not much admittedly, 
but it’s a good start. Extending inf-clojure is super easy and I expect that 
we’ll add a bit more features to it along the way (e.g. macroexpansion).

inf-clojure is available in MELPA and will eventually replace completely 
inferior-lisp-mode when clojure-mode 4.0 is released.

Keep in mind that inf-clojure is nothing like CIDER and will never be. CIDER 
will always be the powertool for Clojure programming in Emacs. I do understand, 
however, that some people are overwhelmed by CIDER and some people simply don’t 
need anything sophisticated. I hope they’ll enjoy inf-clojure!
