I've been writing Clojure lately but I'm a greybeard (literally) Vi/Vim user. vim-fireplace is nice but I can't help wonder if I'm losing something by not using Emacs. At the same time, Clojure is so wonderfully different from the other languages I know that I don't feel like I have the cycles to learn a new editor at the same time I'm learning a new language. Then again, maybe that's the best time to learn Emacs?
- drbojingle 7y agoAlso a Vim (NeoVim) user. I've been curious about Clojure and I've learned that there's a plugin called Conjure that's suppose to be pretty good. I've yet to try it myself but, might be something to look into. https://github.com/Olical/conjure https://github.com/Olical/conjure
- jdormit 7y agoI've never used Fireplace, so I can't speak to the comparison. But CIDER (the Emacs Clojure IDE) is an utter joy to use - I can't recommend it enough. If you do try it out, I would be interested to hear how it compares to Fireplace.
- elwell 7y agoI learned Clojure and Emacs at the same time, and I have to say that it tested my patience. You need to reset your mind to expect to move slowly for a week or two. With that said, I'm really happy with my current setup, except for days when emacs pinky comes. You can mitigate that with Key Chords [0] and mapping Caps Lock to Control. Emacs' CIDER is the de-facto Clojure(Script) dev environment. [0] - https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/KeyChord https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/KeyChord
