The UNIX programming environment is a delightful place to work, and I’ve been using it on one platform or another for decades (including the Mac-OS X is UNIX underneath). First, on Windows I use an environment called MinGW which gives me a terminal window with a UNIX-like “bash” shell. Leiningen is a command-line tool and on Windows it’s accessed via a batch file designed to run in a normal Windows “command shell”-what we used to call a DOS window. It’s not ideal-I’d like better integration between the editor and the REPL-but it’s workable. I can use any editor I like, and easily paste my edits into a Leiningen REPL running in a Terminal window. When working with a REPL, I often find myself fixing bugs and making other changes in the editor and then pasting them into the REPL. I’m looking for a solution that works well on both platforms. At home I use a Mac but at work I use a Windows machine. But wait! All is not rainbows and unicorns. ![]() So at the end of Part II, it looked like I had a solution: Leiningen gives me the REPL and I can use any editor I happen to like. ![]()
