An official channel would be great, thank you. Clojure is a great language with great ideas and a sticker on your laptop is a nice way to invite people to talk about it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group. To post to this group, send ema

In terms of Clojure refactoring tools the ones that looks most promising to me are Emacs with Paredit, Swank, and Slime and, hopefully as it matures, Clojure-refactoring (https://github.com/ joodie/clojure-refactoring). Chas Emerick did a blog post last year that talks about what he would want in
