Really? The only thing I get when I attempt to install Lein2 on Windows is "This is not available on Windows." Running Windows 7 Home.
I'm not a huge fan of using a bunch of IDEs and just use Emacs. After a year of fighting with Windows, I got fed up with it and installed Linux with a VM and now everything works like a dream.
EDIT TO ADD: I would love to do a project like Learn Clojure the Hard Way, but I'm simply not confident in my abilities to do it correctly. I've written some pretty significant programs in Clojure (see my profile), but I wouldn't be able to solve but a few Project Eulers with it. I'm simply too new at programming in general.
- DigitalJack 14y agoI'm a Mac person myself, but use windows for work and have leiningen and clojure running fine. I just used the batch file from the leiningen github to get up and running on windows. Someone else brought up the point that lein needs wget or curl, and that isn't something that is installed by default on windows. I happened to already have them, so I never thought much about it. GNU has a version of wget and maybe curl too for win32. And there is always cygwin if you like. https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm
- DigitalJack 14y agoRE Learn Clojure the Hard Way I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to software in general, but I dip my toes in a lot of different languages. I don't think that would be a problem for LCtHW though... I mean, it could be a collaborative effort as a github page or wherever. Get the framework in place, start with the basics, let the experts fill in the advanced stuff.
