Hello Clojurians!
I wanted to share with you a project called *Clojure Lab*, an *IDE for Clojure in Clojure*. *https://github.com/jfacorro/clojure-lab <https://github.com/jfacorro/clojure-lab>* Yes! Another IDE for Clojure, uhm... the more the merrier? This project started as a learning exercise and ended up being my final project for school, it has gone through a prototyping phase, a few refactorings and finally became something that works and is usable. I have used ideas from a number of places, but the two bigger sources of inspiration were *Emacs* and *Light Table*. The main two goals of this project are *usability* and *extensibility*. In terms of *usability* there's been an effort to make the *UI* as simple and as clean as possible (how fruitful this effort has been is for you to say :). The user always has access to a quick reminder of the commands available in each context thanks to a help dialog that pops up by pressing F1. *Extensibility* is offered through being able to implement every functionality as a plugin (including the support for new languages) and by presenting an abstraction over all UI controls that mimics the hiccup <https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup> syntax and selectors *alla* enlive <https://github.com/cgrand/enlive#selectors>. The currently available implementation for this abstraction uses Swing. Even though I've been working on *Clojure Lab* for quite some time now, I've been reluctant of making any announcements because of the number of great tools and environments that exist in the Clojure ecosystem already (i.e. *Counter-Clockwise*, *Light Table*, *Cursive* and *NightCode* just to name a few). Regardless, a time comes when one must share with the world the fruits of one's labor and ask the world for feedback on one's work... mustn't one? Any and all feedback is extremely welcome as well as reports on any issues you might have if you try it out. Thank you for being such a great community and for supporting such an awesome language!
