I will surely have a look...I am also interested in the auto saving...I guess it's implemented the same way..using this custom file watcher layer over file systems...
It will be fun, and at the moment I read Java better than Clojure ;) Thank you for the reply On Jun 8, 2014 9:51 AM, "Colin Fleming" <[email protected]> wrote: > No, I don't, sorry.
