In Leiningen 1.x, the "lein" shell script detects whether rlwrap or jline is available, and uses it if possible. However, it appears that in trampoline commands, the second (trampolined) process does not run with the advantage of rlwrap/jline. This makes the lein-cljsbuild REPL not so fun.

This page offers a good resource on how rlwrap/jline are used for a regular Clojure REPL:
