As does intellij. With cursive it's a great ide for clojure/ clojurescript.

I mean getting it installed as the language to use to build new products at a company. > Every major Editor like VSCode, Atom, Vim, Emacs has this. Sure, but the problem is it's "yet another thing" they need to learn. They're already skeptical about learning Clojure itself because <current-language> works just fine. So dealing with parentheses adds to the hurdles. At least, in my experience. It will of course depend on the people involved.
