Clojure works just fine on Windows. As I said, I've set up Clojure development environments on a number of Windows machines now and it really isn't that difficult. > It won't do Clojure's > image any good if Windows users are spending hours vainly struggling > to install stuff, following misleading advice. It's hard to know what to do about all the misleading advice out there - it's not like Clojure/core or Clojure/dev can magically wave some wand and make all the bad blog posts go away :( It's like all the people who post about "brew install clojure" - just install the Leiningen shell script and you're done. Again, not much can be done about people using brew to 'install' Clojure :( > More positively, perhaps there > could be a 'snapshot' build of everything required, tested on Windows 7 and > downloadable from official sites. I'm not quite sure what you're looking for here...? * The official Leiningen site has the .bat file that works on Windows. * The official Emacs (GNU) site has the .exe that works on Windows. * The official LightTable site has the .zip file that works on Windows. And the same goes for Eclipse and CCW - again on separate sites - or IntelliJ and La Clojure or... Clojure itself is just one small component in a "Clojure development environment" and there are lots of choices for developers. Clojure/core is only responsible for Clojure itself and the official site has a JAR file that works on Windows. I guess I would ask: what is your previous development stack and did it have a snapshot build of everything required that could be download from a single "official" site? -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
