i highly recommend taking a look at Phil Hagelberg's emacs-starter-kit : https://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit.git
it helped me a LOT when getting started with emacs in general, and emacs and clojure together. i also put together a couple of blog posts on my experience of using it which might be useful for you: http://blog.gaz-jones.com/post/2486737162/setting-up-clojure-development-on-osx-using-emacs-and http://blog.gaz-jones.com/post/2501842155/interactive-clojure-development-in-emacs-with-leiningen gaz On Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 5:13 AM, John V <johnv02...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, I would like to have syntax highlighting for Clojure code in > Emacs.
