The trend that I see (and think is _awesome_!) is encouraging people to learning just Clojure. There used to be a real attitude that if you want to use Clojure, you need to use Emacs. That attitude has all but evaporated ([it's still there though][1]). I still think most people who've taken the time to grok Emacs say that it was worth their time as much as taking the time to grok Lisp was, but it's just not a good idea to learn a new editor and a new language at the same time. So I wouldn't encourage anyone, at this point, to switch editors to learn any language. I would encourage anyone who is not learning a language to learn Emacs. :) [1]: https://kotka.de/blog/2013/10/A_bitter_taste.html -- In Christ, Timmy V. http://blog.twonegatives.com/ http://five.sentenc.es/ -- Spend less time on mail -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
