I'm in favor of moving forward with the Clojure back end. Clojure tooling makes the Emacs side of things much easier as Phil mentioned earlier.
I _do_ think it would be possible really to support both the Java REPL and Clojure, however, it wouldn't make sense to duplicate core JDEE IDE type functionality like method/class completion, wizards, etc. On Feb 12, 2016, at 8:28 AM, Phillip Lord <phillip.l...@russet.org.uk> wrote: > > At this point, we haven't concrete decided on which way to go either > way. > > If there is the willingness to drop the beanshell backend, then we > probably need to plan for this and decide for sure. > > If we go for the Clojure backend, for example, I wonder whether it is > possible to support both clojure and beanshell at once, which would > allow an easy migration path.
