Wasn't someone posting here not long ago about a lightweight Clojure editor/IDE they were working on? What ever happened to that? At the same time, there's only so much you can shrink the install. Don't forget the JDK alone weighs in at three-quarters of that: jdk-6u25-ea-bin-b03-windows-i586-27_feb_2011.exe, 76.69 MB (found on http://download.java.net/jdk6/6u25/promoted/latest/binaries/) So, it's tryclojure or it's an at-least-75-meg download. One of the prices we pay for being a JVM language, I guess. -- Protege: What is this seething mass of parentheses?! Master: Your father's Lisp REPL. This is the language of a true hacker. Not as clumsy or random as C++; a language for a more civilized age. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
