Hello, As detailed in Bradford Cross' blog, (http:// measuringmeasures.blogspot.com/2010/01/agony-of-clojurehadoop-logging- and-how.html) the rebinding of *out* done in the swank/slime repl can be very confusing to folk who don't already know slime. This is because so many java libraries output to stdout. And within Clojure it is very easy to have output happening on a different threads where *out* is still bound stdout which all goes to the *inferior-lisp* buffer (usually hidden) not the repl.
The helpful advice given in comments on the blog post is to use "slime- redirect-inferior-output". With that all stdout ends up in the repl buffer. A direct result of all the effort to make it very easy to get up and running with emacs/slime/swank/clojure is that many folk inexperienced with slime will be encountering it for the first time using clojure (like me for instance). Might I suggest that "slime-redirect-inferior-output" be the default for swank-clojure-project? That is much less surprising to newbies who don't yet know about *out*, thread bindings, and swank/slime's rebinding of *out* in the clojure repl. Thanks, Alex Stoddard
