• Weigh in on the future of M-x swank-clojure-project (here, via @technomancy) -- This only affects you if you are using Emacs and Clojure via Slime/Swank. If you are using swank-clojure-project to fire off your Clojure REPL, know that maintaining that piece of code is cumbersome and slows down the addition of new features to Swank. Since there are alternative ways to running Swank (namely, from maven or from Leningen), there is talk about removing swank-clojure-project altogether. Chime in with if you want swank-clojure-project to stay.
  • Shell Scripting in Clojure with Pallet (here, via @jneira) -- With @hugoduncan's Pallet you can write shell scripts in Clojure that will result in actual shell scripts, with all the Clojure functional approach. Pallet does the heavy lifting for you!
    • new #cloud provisioning tool pallet is the most watched #clojure project on #github today! congrats @hugoduncan (here, via @jclouds)
