Maybe it's just me but I think virtualenv is far more intimidating than getting a basic clojure install going: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv If I were a python noob how would I even know it exists, nevermind what problems it solves or what easy_install is or how I get *that* working? Even if you don't find those to be obstacles you will sooner or latter have to grapple with the idea that languages bundle code in files and those files exist in directories and that an interpreter/ compiler has to be told in which directories and in what order to look for those files. What makes languages like Python easy to start with is that they either come in the form of one-click executables or they're already installed on the system with a decent set of libraries. If people had to bootstrap their own install you'd find confusion similar to what some clojure beginners complain of. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
