Enne

Do you need to come up with totally realistic names for the scores of Finnish characters in your upcoming speculative fiction novel set in dystopic Fennoscandia, replete with Silmarillion-style mythology?

You're in luck.

Try

Install Clojure CLI tools.

Then, on the command line:

$ clj -Sdeps '{:deps {me.flowthing/enne {:mvn/version "1.0.1"}}}'

Then, in the REPL:
