Also, we are in complete agreement on the advantages of lein/boot/whatever so I did not know what to say. Me, I am a lousy typist so I never use a repl. I also normally program Common Lisp in the AllegroCL IDE which is so awesome I use it even though it runs only on Windows <spit>. My observation about not being able (in effect) to just type "clojure" at the shell command line and get a prompt was more about "Gosh, there sure is a lot of tooling involved in programming Clojure". I am reminded of cars. Back in the day anyone with the gumption could work on a car. I recall coming out of week-long retreat with a group of fellow grad students and one of them discovering her brake pedal went to the floor. I grabbed the tools from the toolbox in my trunk and in like five minutes we bled her brake line. Nowadays? Fuggedabout it. Hell, the mechanic at my corner garage refuses to do anything more than tires and batteries. OTOH, as you say, now that I have lein somewhat under control I am working about as efficiently as I did with AllegroCL, so the learning curve pays off. I may even jump into boot and arrange it for it to kick off qooxdoo builds along with my cljs builds (necessary only for releases). cheers, kenneth -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
