I do use these on day 1 of my classes with newcomers and suggest them to others who want a first taste. But Clooj can take you from day 1 through many kinds of complete projects. In my experience it's pretty much the only thing out there in this sweet spot, requiring no prior knowledge of much of anything (JVM, installation stuff, special purpose editors, etc), but letting you do real work. Some other systems may be there some time soon (e.g. LightTable, although that has a lot of other stuff going on too), but in my experience none are quite as simple to deal with as Clooj while simultaneously supporting real work. I've championed Clooj on this list a number of times and it's not because I have any personal connection to it. It's just because I think that the sweet spot that it fills is really important, and I hope that others (with more tool development skills etc) will come to appreciate that too and either help with that project or push other projects in that direction. -Lee -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
