So here, Steve Losh, one of the best Vimmers out there, is also an excellent Lisper! It would be interesting to hear his views on Emacs since he transitioned to Clojure. I am curious to know whether he uses Vim for Clojure/Lisp development.
I moved from Clojure to Common Lisp a few years ago. I still use (Neo)Vim, using VLIME for Common Lisp interaction: https://github.com/l04m33/vlime It works great.
I missed your response, really hard to see responses in comments on #HN. I'm now curious why you moved from clojure to CLISP! I thought most people move the other way around!
