Since taking a look at clojure again I was looking
over at Emacs thinking, even though it feels unusable to me it has the nice
feature of evaluating an expression right here and now. Since I’m kind of
invested in both Vim as well as Textmate, with Vim being my current favorite,
I was looking around to get similar. What I came across first was running the
VimClojure Plugin which includes the Nailgunserver, running a single clojure instance evaluating the code you sent to it.
Even though it feels nice to use it mainly works for clojure and is kind of
heavy weight to set up. A simpler solution was described in a post about setting
up clojure on Vim and uses slime to pass
code to a screen window running some interpreter. The nice thing is it works the
same for ruby, python, nodejs, clojure, etc.. My current setup is available found at
Github
