That's how I see it, too. I really do appreciate the work being done, and trying to make things simpler for newcomers is commendable, but if the price is making it hard/awkward for people used to emacs and its usual ways, I can't approve that. Like Ævar, I am not aware of any other language mode that makes the usual way of installing/configuring as hard as swank-clojure. That is why I use a pretty ancient version of it, which in turn prevents me from using the latest cvs slime (I don't know if swank-clojure works with slime head atm), another PITA for people using Slime for both CL and Clojure, but another topic. Ideally, it should be made easy for both groups. Regards dhl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
