Whoa, hold your horses. Aren't "Decent" and "Emacs-based" mutually-exclusive? > Brief explanation: > Clojure has a critical need for a good novice-friendly IDE. "Novice-friendly" and "Emacs-based" definitely are. Sorry, but this is probably a nonstarter... > Expected results: > Emacs that acts as a Clojure IDE on a level how Eclipse handles Java Actual results: a large spike in ibuprofen sales at area pharmacies. :) The problem is the Emacs UI-paradigm. It's so completely at odds with what have become defacto industry standards (exemplified by Windows, MacOS Toolkit GUI, Swing, Gnome, KDE) that there's basically no way to sugar it up into something novice-friendly, or even just something that won't have the novice ripping out his hair and banging his head against sturdy objects struggling to make it behave the way it "should" when he tries to select, copy, paste, move, deselect, replace, etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
