Some days I wish I hadn't completely scrapped and deleted my Mac-only Clojure-only native IDE. It was fricken cool, even if it wasn't Emacs. I think that thing had promise. Welp.

  Probably once a year, I go through my Github projects and delete ones that have absolutely 0% interest, including from myself. I would have used my IDE (Leviathan) myself but it's hard to compete with Emacs. With a bit of community help I think it could have become something really cool.

Is it on github? Maybe someone takes up the torch, or at least reads your sources for guidance.

  Apparently someone found a fork of it on Github! I've forked it again myself and will keep it for the time being... 575 commits is a lot of time to throw away completely, I shouldn't have been so rash the first time.

    I forked it in the hope of keeping track of it - but the "Whatever" commits weren't that encouraging. :)

      Haha. Yeah. There was 0 interest in this app from anyone besides myself, and it was a bit discouraging, so I just felt like "what's the point in making good commit messages anymore?" and had a bit of fun with that :)

Isn't it this: https://github.com/vijaykiran/Leviathan https://github.com/vijaykiran/Leviathan ? I briefly played with code, but never got time to hack on it.

  Whoa you found it, thanks!!!
- sdegutis 11y ago
  Oh wait, you didn't find it, you're the one who forked it! I should pay closer attention to usernames heh. Thanks so much for forking it and holding onto it for this long. Out of curiosity, if you did have the time, what kind of things would you have hacked into it?

    One primary thing I was interested in "visual-structural editing" at least presenting the program as a nice "pipeline" of functions. I've been a fan of (disappearing) Cocoa-built IDEs (http://lists.apple.com/archives/java-dev/2007/Aug/msg00025.html http://lists.apple.com/archives/java-dev/2007/Aug/msg00025.h... was another one)
