I wonder if someone wants to port the type checker of Typed Racket over to Clojure?

FRTime first please!

Same day as scala 2.8.0 final http://www.scala-lang.org/node/7009

That is cool also! For a long time I was experimenting a lot with both Clojure and Scala, but then I took a gig with a Clojure shop earlier this year. Scala is still on my short list of languages I would use for my own projects (as is Racket Scheme, BTW).

Just curious, as you seem to imply that Clojure is no longer on that list. If this is the case, why not?

No, I like Clojure - but as a platform, it needs some time to get everything right. I think some patience is required, let the Clojure platform developers keep up their very good work.

Uh. Once again the time to find out how to setup Clojure + Slime + swank clojure + clojure-mode this time.

It's not that I didn't love the language, it's just that the installation is a PITA and generally not something I'd look forward to.

If you have gotten it working I have yet to find a decent walk through that works for 1.2 and would love some help getting things set up myself. I had hoped I could just use old-fashioned inferior-lisp with slime and clojure.main but that isn't working for me now either.
