This is my roughly-annual check-in to see if there are new good editing/execution options for me to use in my Clojure teaching and coding.
My requirements are: - Simple installation/setup, even for new programmers, on Mac/Win/Linux - Usable by new programmers without significant training or learning curve - Syntax-aware re-indentation - Visual indication of matching brackets (e.g. matching bracket highlighted, or rainbow brackets, etc.) - No required use of paredit or parinfer Bells and whistles that would help but aren't as critical as the requirements listed above: - Access to argument lists, documentation, and symbol completion while typing - Integrated REPL, although a command-line REPL paired with an editor that met the requirements above would work I would be interested in solutions that work for Clojure and Clojurescript, or just Clojure, or just Clojurescript. Recent developments of which I'm aware but fall short of my requirements: - Nightcode and Lightmod, which would be fabulous if not for the required use of parinfer - Jupyter-based approaches, which also seem great except I see none with syntax-aware re-indentation for Clojure FYI what I'm currently using is a combination of Gorilla REPL and leiningen at the command line. This is quite nice although installation/setup is not as easy or foolproof as I would like (I've had students who tried and failed to get it working on their Windows laptops for an entire semester, messing with Java versions etc.), Gorilla REPL is not very actively maintained, and the requirement to do some things at the command line isn't ideal. Options I've used in the past, which more-or-less met my requirements but are no longer viable, include Clooj, Nightcode (old versions, before parinfer), and Counterclockwise. I also try to keep an eye on "high-end" IDEs like Emacs and Cursive, but so far haven't found any that really meet my requirements for simple installation/setup and usability for beginners. Any pointers would be very much appreciated!
