Forgot to mention. 'socks' sets up slime, clojure and bunch of other modes for emacs. You will have to install emacs by yourself in order for it to work.

To suppress them all and follow clock and calendar and creed until the individual is lost in the neutral gray of the host is to be less than true to our inheritance. Life, that gorgeous quality of life, is not accomplished by following another man's rules. It is true we have the same hungers and same thirsts, but they are for different things and in different ways and in different seasons. Lay down your own day, follow it to its noon, or you will sit in an outer hall listening to the chimes but never reaching high enough to strike your own. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
