    The week-old “Disclojure” news site has an excellent list of resources for Clojure: http://disclojure.org/where-to-start/

    Another useful tool for Clojure on Windows is the Clojure Box (http://clojure.bighugh.com/). Much like the Lisp Box it takes away the complexity in setting up Emacs/Associated Add-ons/Clojure while giving you almost everything you need to start working on one of the better setups for Clojure.

      Thanks Raju, I added Clojure Box to the list.

    La Clojure is also available for the free community edition of IntelliJ.

    For quick and dirty Clojure with a minimalist UI, there is use waterfront.

    Since you are linking to Marc Reid’s article on setting up Clojure on OS X, I’d like to point out my project ClojureX which is based on what Marc did and which by now is a pretty convenient way to set up Clojure on OS X, Linux, OpenSolaris and Windows (Cygwin):

      Thanks Michael. I will add it once I fix Wordpress, since right now it is not letting me edit this page :(

    if you mention clojure plus emacs, i think you should also mention clojure plus vim: VimClojure . working great here (even on windows)!

      *bump*

      According to a non-representative poll second most used dev env after SLIME. And still missing from almost every list – including this one. :(

    IntelliJ has a Community Edition Release 9, free download. Haven’t tried with clojure, and I think JetBrains guys are busy stabilizing scala plugin:

      Gene, clearly this section needs quite a revamp. Things are moving fast. I was planning on doing it soon, so your helpful comments motivated me to doing it sooner! (no promises)

      Thanks!

    The link to clojure-contrib projects should point to:

    Thanx for a great resource – keep up the good work!

    Sean, I’ll try to edit this page once I figure out why WordPress doesn’t show the editor for it :(
