Disclosure: I only began learning/setting up Clojure about a week ago... Despite putting a relatively sizeable chunk of time into it, I still don't have what I would consider a pleasant working environment...
How about: > > GETTING STARTED > snip This would have been great - one canonical source of information, up-to-date, without having to scour slightly out of date blog posts... > If you're coming from a Lisp background, or at least are familiar with > emacs _here is how to set up with emacs and leiningen_. > As 'this guy', pointers to decent "You will also need to know these things about Java classpaths &etc" would be also helpful here > > On the emacs/lein option I think the main problem is the messiness of the > installation and configuration process.

Problem with this is that many Emacs users will already have an installation that contains all kinds of customizations and configurations that are liable to be hard to cover/predict... > On the other hand, for emacs old hands the current rocky road to > configuring > emacs/slime/swank-clojure/lein/etc. to play nice with one another is > the sort of thing they've been coping with for years and in some cases > even decades; one might argue "they can take it". Doesn't mean we actually enjoy that part of it ;) -- Love regards etc David Miller http://www.deadpansincerity.com 07854 880 883 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
