Clojure dev with Lein 2 and nrepl (Swank-less)

clojure_dev_lein_nrepl.md

Before heading down this path, consider using Emacs Live, which is a nice set of defaults for working with Clojure, Overtone and Quil.

Also, check out this nice write-up on debugging with nREPL.

I also drew inspiration (copied things) from Ryan Neufeld's config, which you should also consider using.

Finally, you can check out my ~/.emacs.d/init.el config on GitHub.

All this as of May, 2013...
