I suggested Eclipse for several reasons: - It is AFAIK an IDE to build IDEs and can be rebranded the way you want. - It is the shortest path to have an IDE instead of starting from scratch. Creating that IDE is a matter of integrating and repackaging since the tools are already there (CCW, lien, test frameworks). - I hope you didn't misunderstand what I said above. I am not against Java and I am aware the Java interop is one of Clojure's strength and eventually you will need an IDE that can deal with both languages and Eclipse is an IDE for both. A simpler IDE, like CLOOJ, might be good for a newcomer but when he has advanced in the language and needs both languages, the simpler IDE will have to provide the tools Eclipse (and VS) currently provide for the host language. That's why I think an Eclipse-based IDE is the better choice for an official IDE. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
