Hi Group,

there was a Stack Overflow question recently re: syntax highlighting
Clojure REPLs. This got me thinking that since I was going to tweak
SLIME REPL font-lock for quite some time now (I find the default a bit
too aggressive), I might as well do it now and have it use
clojure-mode's font-lock settings too.

Here's what I came up with:
http://gist.github.com/337280

I've got some questions in connection with this. Firstly, I'd love to
know whether this could be done in a simpler way. If not, then I
wonder if clojure-mode could move the font-lock setup from the
clojure-mode function itself to something like my
clojure-font-lock-setup function and  then just call that from
clojure-mode? That way a usable syntax highlighting SLIME REPL would
become a one hook affair.

Then there's one thing I didn't try to tackle for now (because it
would actually require me to write font-lock code, which is something
that scares me to death), namely prompt highlighting ("namespace>"
appears in plain text for now). Is there a simple way to add this on
top of clojure-mode font-lock settings?

All the best,
Michał
