Oh you're bringing back terrible memories from my youth! JCL... I thought once I'd left the insurance industry I'd never have to see those three letters again! :) > If you're going to really be a lisper and use Clojure for more > than a "Java scripting language" then you might want to invest > effort in using emacs. I really think that depends on what other technologies you want to work with. I used Emacs in the 80's. It was great then - absolutely best of breed. I recently tried it again - because of Clojure - and it was like taking a step back 20+ years, IMO. I'm using Clojure as part of a large project that already has multiple languages, all running on the JVM, as well as CSS, JS, HTML, SQL, and using Tomcat as the container for testing / deployment. Eclipse handles all of that with a small collection of plugins in rich, Java-centric manner - which is what I need. If you are writing a pure Clojure system and, for you, the JVM is a necessary evil to run the end result, then Emacs is probably worth the effort but for me it would be a *huge* shift in my workflow and a very steep learning curve. For anyone coming from a Java background, I don't think recommending Emacs is at all helpful... > This won't get you a corporate job though.
