Hi, 

I apologise if this is not the appropriate forum, but please bear with me.

Having watched Bozhidars Clojutre presentation, 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrpsMB2gYI0&index=2&list=PLetHPRQvX4a9iZk-buMQfdxZm72UnP3C9
 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrpsMB2gYI0&index=2&list=PLetHPRQvX4a9iZk-buMQfdxZm72UnP3C9>,
 I think he brings up some valid points.

To me, the most interesting point is the formatting of the doc-strings in 
Clojure core. If you compare them (as Bozhidar does) with the 
doc-strings in Emacs, you’ll see that Clojure’s variant lacks quite a bit of 
formatting/conventions which make it hard for tooling to help the user with 
great documentation. In fact, Emacs has its own package which can be used to 
check that the documentation follows certain rules, 
http://cedet.sourceforge.net/checkdoc.shtml 
<http://cedet.sourceforge.net/checkdoc.shtml>

I guess what I’d be interested in discussing would be how to move forward on 
this. I think one viable way would be for the maintainers of the two major IDE’ 
(Cider and Cursive) to sit down over a couple of (virtual) ciders and come up 
with a format, and start implementing this, see if it gains traction in the 
community released software, and then at last see if the format could be 
incorporated into Clojure core.

Anyone?

Erik.
