This is not entirely correct. SLIME works by communicating with the running Lisp process (in this case, Clojure), essentially all the integration between Emacs/SLIME and Clojure is written in Clojure. The component of SLIME that runs in the Lisp process is called SWANK. I recall that a Common Lisp plugin for Eclipse, CUSP, used swank so it may be useful environments other than Emacs/SLIME. The main repo for swank-clojure is: http://github.com/jochu/swank-clojure/tree/master > > > However, I would be very much in favor of a common test set.
