Merlin for Vim is an absolute delight to use. You get auto-complete, indentation, compile-on-save, type checking right within your editor with less than 5 lines of configuration.
For someone new to the type system, it helps a lot to compulsively keep checking the types of the expressions as you go along building the program. Highly recommended.

- krat0sprakhar 11y agoIt surely is. But how does Merlin help with that?

- LeonidasXIV 11y agoI used Merlin pretty extensively, yet this example had me sitting there with an open mouth, staring in awe. The funniest thing is that in my experience Merlin just seems to work. When I think about how many hoops I need to jump through with the Clojure REPL to connect it to CIDER in Emacs, Merlin just works in the background without me having to think about it at all. Very impressive.
