I used to be surprised that there were *any* lispers who don't prefer emacs, considering the wonderful things you can do with emacs lisp, and the many other conveniences for working with s-expressions, slime, etc. I wonder if the mixed lineage of Clojure is the reason why there are many Clojurers who don't prefer emacs. My guess is that emacs still holds a majority even in the Clojure lisp world, and almost definitely in the Common Lisp world.
As for the OP, yes Java is very annoying. Lein solves most of the Java annoyances, as others have also said. When *not* using lein, I *still* find it very annoying to say, write a script that does the correct java classpath incantations to get something to compile or run as a script. Java is just painful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
