Vim preferences for Clojure

I want to learn Clojure and I don't want to think about a new editor, or a bunch of new mappings

These are my minimum requirements that make me happy

TL;DR

1) install vim 2) install vim-fireplace and vim-cljfmt 3) add some shit to your ~/.lein/profile.clj

1. vim
   • you can use system vim or brew or whatever the fuck
   • I build from source on linux
2. vim-fireplace
   • reference README but mostly you :Connect to a running nREPL
   • often I will :Require the current buffer and play around in the repl
   • K to look up inline docs is nice
   • check out :Source, :Doc, and :FindDoc too
3. vim-cljfmt
   • A tiny plugin that works with the running nREPL
   • obviously this formats your Clojure, which is nice for me right now because I don't want to think about nice paren related plugins. Maybe later. I try my best, and fall back on this
4. I make these changes to my ~/.lein/profiles.clj:
   • this will install nREPL and cljfmt

{:user {:plugins [[cider/cider-nrepl "0.16.0"]
                  [lein-cljfmt "0.5.7"]]
        :dependencies [[cljfmt "0.5.7"]]
        :repl-options {:init (require 'cljfmt.core)}}}

5. This Paramount color scheme is so nice because it's mostly 3 colors
   • "A minimal colorscheme for Vim that only puts emphasis on the paramount."
   • I just seem to really enjoy a simpler look to lisps
