Clojure IDE on Windows? [closed]

Answer 1

I tried to use VimClojure but found it uninviting. I'm a Vim person, but the idea that I have to compile my editor before even trying it out is definitely not what I'm looking for. The fact that the author says he doesn't care about Windows support any more adds to my disinclination to use it. On top of that, the documentation is pretty poor.

I'm attracted to ClojureBox which is Clojure and Emacs in an easy-to-use installer. Maybe it's time to give Emacs another shot. It comes right up in the REPL.

Answer 2

Another interesting IDE under development is a project funded through Kickstarter.com, the Light Table IDE: http://app.kodowa.com/playground

The IDE is heavily inspired by the concepts Bret Victor presented at CUSEC 2012: Inventing on Principle

Chris Granger felt so inspired by Bret's ideas, that he quickly put together a proof-of-concept for a new Clojure IDE, which he calls Light Table. The project got $300k of funding through Kickstarter, and very early releases of the IDE are available through the project playground. Installation is as easy as a single download and click, if you have Java and Chrome installed on your system.

The IDE is in a very early stage, but has some very distinctive features, especially the "live" view of your code in the right panel. Check this screenshot of Light Table running in Chrome:

Answer 3

Personally I use emacs because no other IDE feels right with sexpression languages to me. Swank/slime/emacs/clojure is just such a powerful repl setup nothing else feels right to me. If you want it set up easily (assuming you don't already have emacs set up) check out clojurebox

Preconfigged to just work on windows after running an installer.

Answer 4

On the site, the first thing you would read when getting started lists all your current options. There is a netbeans add-in, emacs mode and vim syntax highlighting.

Answer 5

I use Lighttable to develop Clojure apps. Its pretty fantastic! I would recommend.

Answer 6

I don't. I'm waiting on the release of Enclojure, the netbeans plugin that fixes some of the windows problems.

UPDATE: I do now, Enclojure ROCKS! :D
