Daniel, I've just finished reading this series and thought it was superb. The Emacs chapters in particular were a massive help. I'm a complete newbie with Emacs and the detail here was pitched just perfectly. It got me exactly what I needed to start to become productive very quickly. I highly

I would like to add to Roberto's request, a thorough treatment of ns would be great. It has its specific syntax that takes some time to understand, but that you don't use enough to imprint in your brain. It differs between the REPL and the file source, and is a showstopper when you want to try

Sorry if my comment came across the wrong way. I wasn't meaning you specifically, just the general clojure community in general. Keep up the good work. BTW, something that confuses me a lot in clojure is 'require' vs 'import'. There seem to be different ways of 'importing' or 'requiring' a pack

Thanks for all the feedback. I didn't expect there to be such polar opposite reactions to the Emacs content! Roberto - did you notice the links to vim, CCW, and sublime text 2 materials? They are at the bottom of this page: http://www.braveclojure.com/getting-started/ . I'm also curious about y

I've been wanting to learn clojure for some time. Done some katas here and there, but what has kept me from taking the dive is precisely the attitude in the community that anything but Emacs is wrong. Yes, most clojure devs are already using Emacs, but most newbies are not. And to be honest, I

Thanks for the feedback, Dima and Gary! It's very encouraging. With the C-s/C-r keybindings, I think the emacs.d I point has swapped isearch and regexp search. I'll double-check that. Thanks, Daniel On Wednesday, September 4, 2013 2:58:54 PM UTC-4, Gary Johnson wrote: > > Looks pretty solid. Gr

Looks pretty solid. Great work so far. Also +1 for the Emacs coverage. Despite the fact that our surveys still show the majority of Clojure users develop in Emacs, this mailing list frequently exhibits an anything-but-Emacs tone. By all means add links to other editors for folks who are already

I think it could benefit from more posts on using Clojure with IDE/Editor ___. Perhaps outsource some of that with links to existing posts on the topic. I hesitate to recommend this to anyone because I can't recommend Emacs (even though it's my primary terminal editor). - Greg -- Please do not
