Hello Jay, I'd like to learn a little bit more from what makes you prefer emacs over IntelliJ. As the main developer of Counterclockwise, I'm I could learn some ideas, if not lessons, from your experience.
Some questions and remarks inline: 2013/1/28 Jay Fields <j...@jayfields.com>: > I used IntelliJ for clojure dev for almost 3 years.

Is this really the core of your concerns? Are you talking about the ability for you to write new elisp scripts, or to benefit from a bunch of existing elisp scripts from the emacs community? Is this mostly related to the fact that Clojure support in IntelliJ is lacking in key areas? Or is it really the liberty that comes with emacs lisp that you value overall?

Can you point me to the emacs lisp which does this ? I would be interested in studying a little bit what kind of API it provides to you, the user (without digging into tons of reference material: a concrete example like you automating running tests would be great to look at) Thanks, -- Laurent -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
