It seems (from my limited observations) that most of the Clojure developers are Linux/Mac people so it's understandable that Windows isn't currently as well supported by all tools. That is meant more as a general observation than a criticism.
My own problems getting emacs set up were more of an issue with ELPA than Clojure-Swank in particular. The Lein setup is a known shortcoming currently that hopefully will be corrected at some point. I hope so because it seems to be becoming a standard in the community. If my Clojure improves maybe Windows support is something I can take a look at myself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
