Setting up Clojure, Incanter, Emacs, Slime, Swank, and Paredit
- bad_user 17y agoI'm an Emacs user myself, but I hate using complicated plugins with dependencies in Emacs. So what IDE among the three (Eclipse, Netbeans, IntelliJ) has the best Clojure plugin? Do you have any experience with any of them?
- raju 17y agoI am a new-comer to Clojure, and an intermediate user of Emacs. I have found that configuring Emacs to work well with Clojure took quite a bit of fumbling around on my part (I am pretty sure a lot had to do with my lack of understanding) but one I do have everything up and running, it usually just works. Unfortunately my experience with DisClojure (Netbeans) left much to be desired. Its progressing slowly, but its not there yet. I haven't used Eclipse or IntelliJ so I really can't comment on those. Tools like leiningen [http://github.com/technomancy/leiningen http://github.com/technomancy/leiningen] and Clojure-Maven-Plugin [http://github.com/talios/clojure-maven-plugin http://github.com/talios/clojure-maven-plugin] do make it a lot easier for you to set up a project quickly, and have a REPL started with the correct classpath. I guess what I am trying to say is if you are comfortable with Emacs, then it's probably the best tool to work with Clojure (IMO) out there.
