Appendix A
Editor Support
Editor support for Clojure is evolving rapidly, so some of the information here may be out-of-date by the time you read this. Check the archives of the mailing list1 for recent announcements.
Clojure code is concise and expressive. As a result, editor support is not quite as important as for some other languages. However, you will want an editor than can at least indent code correctly and can match parentheses.
While writing the book, I used Emacs plus Jeffrey Chu’s clojure-mode, available at http://github.com/jochu/clojure-mode. Emacs support for Clojure is quite good, but if you are not already an Emacs user, you might prefer to start with an editor you are familiar with from among these:
