There is sufficient information provided in most Var metadata to get the source code where the Var defined (assuming the source code is available in the classpath). I'm working on (or perhaps more accurately, poking at) a small program to leverage Swing to provide an environment for editing Clojure and interacting with a running REPL. It's by no means emacs or even vim yet, but it will have no dependencies beyond what Clojure requires and may provide a sufficiently comfortable environment for spot-editing. It will also attempt to be an acceptable starting place for people wanting to play with Clojure who aren't too deeply committed to emacs or vim. It already has an 'open' function to pull up the source of a function in the edit pane. I'm not ready to provide a link yet, but go ahead and ask me in a few weeks how "textjure" is coming along. --Chouser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
