Without emacs and its plethora of hellspawn requirements for a decent clojure environment, I just don't feel comfortable!!

Grats on a nice web-based repl though :)

Neat! FYI, the editor is fairly busted on FF 3.6.3. Key repeat for arrow keys does not work, and paste is broken. Not sure what they're using, but it would also be nice if it supported readline-style navigation (i.e. M-f, M-b, C-e, C-a, etc).

Looking better and better. Someone with design chops should fork the repo and give them a good logo and a color treatment.

Having the tutorial right there is a great improvement. Looking forward to working through it as it expands.

Man that teddy bear scares me off, I'd hate to make a typo and crash someones server.

What kind of precautions against newbie messes are there ?

Yeah, yesterday I decided I wanted to do something with Lisp again, and I figured that Clojure was the hot new kid on the block, so I should use that, and now it's tonight and I still don't have SLIME hooked up to Clojure, presumably because there's no actual guide to anything, and any howto that anybody made is guaranteed to be out of date almost before they post it.

Clojure is really appealing otherwise, though, as lisps go.

Edit (2x): I had a statement here of my particular problem at the moment, but then it changed, so I deleted it.

You're going about it differently than I did (haven't gotten around to leiningen yet), but I found the top google results for linking emacs to clojure were woefully out of date. I'm a newbie to both emacs and clojure, so I couldn't figure out what I needed to do to correct for the old info.

I gave up on that route and installed elpa on emacs, which I then used to install slime, swank, and clojure. Works great!
