Maybe you want to try light table. It's a pure gui experience, and is probably easier than setting up lein. Currently free.

- doorhammer 13y agoI haven't messed with light table recently, but even months ago, when I last fired it up, it was a way easier setup to jump into clojure than installing java, clojure, Leiningen, etc. So I second this idea, especially if someone doesn't have CLI experience and just wants to get cracking at some code.
- danneu 13y agoI think all noobs should still get lein. (Install it in 1 second with your package manager) That way they can run `lein new <project-name>` to get the app skeleton created. Then open it with Lighttable. In fact, anyone that wants to check out the Clojure version of Sinatra/Flask should run `lein new compojure <project-name>` and it'll create it from a template. Then run `lein ring server` from the project root to start the dev server. Someone happened to tell me those incantations my first day with Clojure and I was instantly productive.
- mahyarm 13y agoIf a newbie knows what a package manager is and has it set up on their system, then they're probably not the level of noob this article is going for.
