Yeah, for Emacs users I'm sure Clojure is great. For the other 99% of us who use VS Code or IntelliJ or something else entirely, it really isn't. Though IntelliJ + Cursive I'd say is probably the best, it still pales in comparison to say Rust or TypeScript support in editors.
- robertfw 4y agoI've found Calva for VS Code to be excellent, what do you think is missing there?
- fiddlerwoaroof 4y agoI tried Calva a lot and suggested it to my coworkers a while back (2017ish) and it was nothing but trouble. Cursive seemed to work pretty well, though.
- lilactown 4y agoAFAICT Calva has come a very long way in 5 years
- askonomm 4y agoNo parinfer support.
- phforms 4y agoHave you tried Calva for VS Code? Although I don’t use it myself (I use vim-iced with Neovim, which I like very much), I have heard lots of good things about it and it seems very easy to set up and use.
- jimbokun 4y ago“The tools for Lisp aren’t very good because I don’t use those tools.”
- askonomm 4y agoAre you suggesting that one has to forgo their favourite code editors, and learn what is arguably the most complex editor, in order to use Clojure? That's the kind of attitude that makes all beginners run away.
- fiddlerwoaroof 4y agoA beginner can use anything but if you’re using Clojure professionally, you should aspire to using the good tools. Also, emacs isn’t really more complex to use than IntelliJ or Eclipse
- Qem 4y agoYou must agree that if the first step in learning a language is "Learn Emacs first", a lot of potential learners are shooed away before they even start. The language has high ceiling, but high floor as well.
