I've been doing something very similar, but using IntelliJ + Cursive Clojure - run Midje autotest inside the IDE for running tests, and also for manually evaluating snippets of code.
<plug> Cursive gives me a lot of what I had from Emacs - paredit editing, tight repl integration (alt-enter mapped to "eval sexp in repl" is used heavily), decent code formatting and indentation. And also all the Gui stuff I always found clunky in Emacs: graphical directory tree, tool tips & autocomplete, graphical hints for things like git integration, code navigation including Java code. I love emacs, but I'm increasingly frustrated by the limitations of it's mostly-text interface </plug> (p.s. I saw Jay's talk at Yow, and it was excellent, though a bit depressing - we had pain getting Clojure working at our client, but far less than Jay did. When the Yow videos come out you can compare his experiences with mine...) - Korny On 5 February 2014 09:09, Colin Yates <colin.ya...@gmail.com> wrote: > Interesting - thanks all. > > My experience of Light Table is quite close to Norman's, although I > discounted that *in my case* to not spending enough time with it.
