Having studied Lisp decades ago I like the look of Clojure a lot. But as a
complete newbie when it comes to modern software development, I'm
exasperated by what strikes me as a very difficult and primitive set of
tools to get started. I keep seeing "Leinigen, Leinigen", and the Leinigen
homepag
What I find exasperating about Leinigen is that I've got a degree in
computer science, decades of experience in IT support, and I still haven't
been able to get it working yet. :-(
Package Manager? Curl? What?
OK, look, I'm not very bright. It took me years to get my head round OOP
because al
Thanks for the suggestions - this really isn't an anti-Leiningen thread,
I'm just impatient that I don't understand it yet. But I'll give it another
crack and post some more coherent queries when I get stuck...:-)

I'm sure this must be simple when you know, but after several days of
ransacking the Internet and trying different things I'm still stumped.
I've given up on the LibGDX in Clojars, which is old, and also, I suspect,
non-functional and/or undocumented.

getting the dependencies working.)

I'm not used to Google Groups so I'm not even sure whether this is more of
a forum or a mailing list or something else. It's not really what I'd call
a full-on forum though. The communities where I hang around tend to look
more like this...

I don't see it as an experience thing. There are a lot of highly skilled
professionals on the Edugeek and Sound On Sound forums...

Perhaps this general anti-Windows attitude is what Windows-based newcomers

...I dunno. As a Windows-addict-newbie, James has a valid point when he
says that Windows users expect to be able to just "click next a lot", and I
don't think that will get you very far with Clojure. The tools like
Leiningen are pretty darn good, and not that difficult really. Simple,
