So, I’ll be demonstrating how to build and install Incanter (which includes Clojure and Clojure-contrib), and then set up a development environment with Emacs, Slime, Swank, and Paredit. You may decide it’s not for you, and luckily there are alternatives, from your favorite editor combined with a REPL to plugins for popular IDEs like Netbeans ( Enclojure), IntelliJ ( La Clojure), and Eclipse ( Counter-Clockwise).īut you’ll never know if it’s for you unless you give it a try. Once you’ve got the basics down though, it’s worth venturing into the arcane world of Emacs. There is no reason to tackle the complexities of configuring and using Emacs, Slime, and Swank until you’ve got your head around the basics of Clojure and functional programming. I recommend people use an editor they’re comfortable with, combined with a command-line REPL. Emacs is the favored development environment for the majority of Clojure developers, and there are good reasons for that, but personally, I don’t think it should be the first choice of developers new to Clojure, unless they have used it previously it’s just too much to learn at once.
