Seconded. I found this very confusing when I first started with Clojure. 2010/1/21 Alex Stoddard <alexander.stodd...@gmail.com>
> Hello, > > As detailed in Bradford Cross' blog, (http:// > measuringmeasures.blogspot.com/2010/01/agony-of-clojurehadoop-logging- > and-how.html) the rebinding of *out* done in the swank/slime repl can > be very confusing to folk who don't already know slime. This is > because so many java libraries output to stdout. And within Clojure it > is very easy to have output happening on a different threads where > *out* is still bound stdout which all goes to the *inferior-lisp* > buffer (usually hidden) not the repl. > > The helpful advice given in comments on the blog post is to use "slime- > redirect-inferior-output". With that all stdout ends up in the repl > buffer. > > A direct result of all the effort to make it very easy to get up and > running with emacs/slime/swank/clojure is that many folk inexperienced > with slime will be encountering it for the first time using clojure > (like me for instance). > > Might I suggest that "slime-redirect-inferior-output" be the default > for swank-clojure-project?
