ClojureExMiniIDE

A minimalistic integrated development environment for the Clojure programming language.

This is a special edition of the ClojureMiniIDE for the Clojure wrapper of JavaFX library cljfx.

There is also an edition HumbleUIMiniIDE for the Clojure GUI library HumbleUI.

Special Features

1. Program. In Clojure, there's no concept of a "program"; there's only the concept of a "namespace". These aren't quite the same thing. A given task typically requires multiple namespaces. ClojureMiniIDE defines a program as an ordered sequence of namespaces. The order is determined by the order in which namespaces must be loaded, as this is essential for program operation. A special button is available for automatically loading a program.

2. Separate windows for functions and other program elements. This allows you to simultaneously edit multiple functions on the screen, from different namespaces, and only those needed at the moment. The automatic loading button simultaneously composes ("builds") various namespaces from all open and possibly modified elements, saves them, and loads them in the desired order.

Prerequisites

JavaFx must be installed on your machine

Usage

$ cd <ClojureExMiniIDE directory>
$ ./run.sh       # Linux, MacOS
