How would you define "IDE"? There's already Slime (for Emacs) and Vim support for Clojure. Slime can do all kinds of function name completion, link up to documentation, run chunks of code on the fly, and help manage project directories (via Speedbar). Presumably Vim can do the same (I haven't used the Clojure environment for Vim). What is it that characterizes an "IDE" for you, if I may ask? What features would it need in order to be sufficiently capable? I don't mean "in order to win the whole world over to Clojure" (Smalltalk had a great IDE but that didn't help); I mean in order to be useful to you, your programmer friends or colleagues? mfh --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
