Hello,

I am working on a DSL for a non-technical crowd hosted in Clojure. The
first major hurdle for my users to tackle would be installing Clojure,
a text-editor, and learning the workflow. I'd like to make this as
easy as possible, so I'm considering a web app solution instead of a
desktop app. I am envisioning something like tryclojure, but with the
ability to edit/save/open files in a JavaScript editor.

I wanted to ask two questions of the community:

a) What options are available for hosted Clojure (i.e. not a VPS)? I
am aware of the Google App Engine. Are there others? (as a sub-
question: if GAE is the only game in town, do people have a
preferrence over the various packages available on github (app-magic,
appengine-clj, others)?

b) Are there any open source projects/sites out there where users are
directly writing and executing Clojure (outside of tryclojure)?

Finally, if you think I am going about this all wrong and should
provide a more conventional desktop application, tell me why. Are
there tools available to neatly package an editor and REPL? I doubt my
users will be invested in a particular editor in advance, so shipping
one is certainly an option.

Thanks in advance,
-Mark
