How does this compare to the official JetBrains plugin, La Clojure?

Cursive is based off a fork of La Clojure from a long time ago. Since then I've rewritten 80% of the code in Clojure and added a lot of new functionality and fixed a lot of bugs. There's lots of new stuff in there, but the main highlights are Paredit-style structural editing and good nREPL integration (for local and remote REPLs).

Awesome. I've only been playing with Clojure for a few months but IntelliJ IDEA has been my go-to IDE for a long time now so all of that time has been spent with La Clojure + Leiningen plugin and I've always felt that it was a little clunky (and that the Leiningen plugin was a bit of a 2nd class citizen). Hopefully a little TLC and a cohesive vision can yield something that's much nicer to work with. Looking forward to seeing where this project ends up.

Developer here - I'm happy to answer any questions folk might have!

Sure do - Settings->Clojure->Rainbow Parens. You can't customise the colours right now, but that's coming in the next drop.

do you plan to go commercial, imminently i.e. as soon as you go out of beta and settle things down ... or is this just a future possibility?
