it was kind of annoying, at first, to have to type up the startup script myself from the "getting started" wiki page (or cut-n-paste). Seemed like it should have come with the download, but once I dedicated some time to it, it was ok. Netbeans plugin, I think, was a good substitute when I just wanted to dive in, but then I didn't really get what was going on, per se. In the end, I now think it was good to walk through the getting started page. It's like clojure comes as a "kit car". Then when you are driving it, you have a better chance of having some idea how to pop the hood and tinker.
On the other hand, I don't think this would appeal to potential python converts who can install python, and five seconds later, and two lines of code learn how to write a script to untar/unzip a file. In that particular case I think it was awesome that there was such an easy work-around to windows not coming with a way to untar/unzip out of the box. Easier to install python and do it than any other solution, I found. No admin rights needed, no separate jvm/jdk/IDE download, etc. 2009/4/17 Mark Volkmann <r.mark.volkm...@gmail.com> > > On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 4:10 PM, Marko Kocić <marko.ko...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > I have seen various scripts to start clojure in the net.
