Re: [ClojureScript] Re: Has anyone tried the quickstart guide lately?

2018-03-12 Thread David Nolen
While the forthcoming Quick Start is an improvement we do want the old
Quick Start to work until it's ready :) We don't get many reports about the
original Quick Start not working these days so that needs to be taken into
consideration here.

For the OP, if you're encountering trouble it's important to enumerate the
precise steps that lead to the failure, newcomers sometimes diverge from
the instructions for one reason or another and this nearly always leads to
simple mistakes. If you're looking for some realtime help I recommend Slack
or IRC.

HTH,
David

Please reconsider introducing yourself with a phrase like "dismal failure". 
Regardless of how you feel about it in the heat of frustration, people who 
worked hard on that document are here. Let's be kind to each other.

I have no direct troubleshooting advice, but consider that the entire 
Quickstart is being massively rewritten:
