I didn't see any mention of an editor choice in your message, I would recommend getting started with the Clojure plugin for your editor of choice (be it Vim, Emacs, Eclipse or anything else) based on the instructions here: http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/clojure/Getting_Started , most of the editors there have some kind of interactive REPL that sounds like it would be helpful for you. > There is something similar for vim (I'm sure a vim user will chime in). Vim's equivalent is VimClojure - http://kotka.de/projects/clojure/vimclojure.html The way I use VimClojure is spawn an in-editor REPL and have vimclojure eval the file, then I can use the methods defined in the file from within the editor's REPL, if I change a function VimClojure has keybindings to eval a form, which updates the definition of the method and I can try it from the REPL again without reloading anything. - Lee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
