I agree that it would make us more effective. But honestly, before that, I tend to find my clojure ide, to be very lacking. If I type CTRL-SHIFT-T I can search for java type instantly but auto completion in the editor for exampel take more than 10 seconds. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
