I've taught a couple of courses using clooj and I think it's nearly optimal for some categories of noobs and some non-noobs too (like me, much of the time). For me it has an essential combination of features that I can't find together elsewhere: one-click, idiot-proof installation, native and un-mysterious GUI that doesn't require special training, REPL, bracket matching, automatic code indenting, autocompletion, doc-string access, arglist-on-space, and leiningen compatibility (but it's not integrated). There are a few things that it doesn't have that I wish that it did -- especially stuff related to debugging -- but for me the tradeoffs are worth it. However, it's true that it's not very actively maintained and that it currently has some problems. I don't think that the author has a lot of spare time for it these days. But I think that anyone can contribute and if anyone out there has the skill set and time to contribute to a project then I think this would be a worthy target... -Lee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
