Note: I'm not looking for LightTable. I really am looking for a Clojure Editor implemented in Clojure.

Recently, I've been studying slime/swank/elisp. Although it's an amazing system, I actually don't understand (beside reasons of historical artifacts) why I should:

(*) write parts of my code in Clojure, and yet code up editor plugins in elisp

It seems like besides the fact that emacs/swank/elisp already exists, there is no reason to prefer elisp over clojure.

Thus, my question: are there any usable projects to implement a clojure editor/ide in clojure? It's okay if it's less developed than emacs/slime/swank -- I don't mind writing more clojure code.

Thanks!

  • One can typically achieve amazing customizations with very litte amounts of elisp. In addition by being part of a bigger community you can take advantage of already existing solutions for almost every issue that may arise. Commented Apr 24, 2012 at 14:43
  • is LightTable not going to be written in Clojure ? I thought that was the point Commented May 16, 2012 at 4:46

Clooj is implemented in Clojure and people seem to like it. I don't believe it has any extension mechanisms yet though, but when it does, I'm sure they'll be written in Clojure.

This looks more scriptable than both enclojure & counterclockwise.

Please elaborate: What about plugins?
