Hi Tim, back when I started diving into Clojure I had the very same plan, teach me Emacs to write Clojure. Somewhere down the road I realized that I can have almost everything, that I hoped to gain by picking up Emacs, in VIM too. VimClojure and lein-vimclojure**, once set up, delivered everything I was looking for. Ok, everything but debugging! Which, thanks to the ability to use tracing right inside a vim repl, I don't miss that much as I missed my buddies . and * back then... :-)
I definitely don't want to discourage you from looking into Emacs, which without a question is a great text editor, I just wanted to note that there are working setups for VIM too. :-) Regards, Ben Am 14.09.2011 04:13, schrieb Timothy Washington: > > Hey all, > > > So I'm still an avid vim user.
