I'm right at the start of this process, completely unfamiliar with Clojure,
Leiningen, Emacs, Java and all of the projects with cute names.
I don't even know what I want.
I've cut and pasted various git-clone and lein commands, but have no idea
about the bigger picture. I'm happy to dawdle along on my own, but if my
current (and hopefully temporary) ignorance can provide feedback on a
start-up guide then let me know.
At present I'm often wondering "what is this thing? why do I want it?".
Slime for example. I don't especially want answers here, but something like
a glossary for the clojure ecosystem would be handy (not that I've looked
hard).
Another document that might useful is a platform Rosetta stone
matching clojure tools and libraries to those that fill a similar role in
other
languages (Java and Ruby for starters). This is more of a "nice to have".
Thanks,
Brad
