“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.
