Man, that post is great and some of the slides really made me laugh :) Nice work! I'm just starting my Clojure journey. The biggest challenge was to find the right editor setup at the very beginning that would allow efficient work like debugging, refactoring, contextual help etc. I progress with Emacs, very slowly, as I have problems to devote enough weekly time for this and be systematic but already see some effects. Which editor do you use?
I always suggest everybody to not learn two things at the same time, and honestly, leaning Clojure and Emacs at the same time will be extremely frustrating.
My recommendation is to use whatever IDE/Editor you are used to. Right now most of them have some kind of Clojure support/plugin.
I personally use Intellij + Cursive plugin (cursive-ide.com, not free), which allows me to "reuse" most of my Intellij shortcuts.
Good luck on your journey!

Hi Marcin,
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
