I haven't heard of brew. I'm glad some people find it easy to install Clojure on Windows. But knowing that doesn't really help those who don't. Not that there is any obligation on anyone to help - we can just eff off and do other things. Regarding a 'snapshot' build, obviously no-one is obliged to provide that or anything else. My point was that it might be a good thing if a working development stack, IDE and all, were available from a single site under the management of a single organisation.
There isn't, and that is perfectly fair. I am just not likely to be using Clojure after all - I don't want to waste more of my time or anyone else's. I apologise for the time already wasted. I don't know what you mean by a previous development stack - I have never had Clojure working.
