Comments anyone ?
I can get pretty far writing an application in Python with nothing
more than good command line support and syntax highlighting in any
text editor. Anything extra like completions, refactoring, etc, are
just nice-to-haves. I don't see why an IDE is required for writing
workable Clojure apps.

I use a Mac with MacPorts. Pulled down clojure and clojure-contrib
ports.
Only thing I had to do (and this was -not- easy to figure out), was
create a .clojure file that pointed
to the contrib jar. But that is how the clj wrapper in the clojure
port works. I suppose I could also
muck around with my class path, or do other things...
There is a high Java tax on using clojure for those of us coming from
non-Java languages.
I'm willing to accept that I need to read the Java docs on how
strings, or, whatever, work.
But getting clojure itself set up? Please, do -not- make "pre-existing
familiarity with an IDE" a prerequisite. There are enough learning
curves as it is.

P.S. I used Emacs back when Gosling was writing his version of it at
CMU, before Java even existed, and now I use (g)vim. It's nice that
there are other IDEs working with clojure, but not so nice to assume
non-Java users are using some VisualStudio or other heavy-weight IDE.
