In which are found tricks of the trade concerning clojure authorship - Technomancy. So it turns out getting set up to write Clojure code can be a little tricky.
There are a lot of disconnected tidbits about how folks have figured out how to configure things, but it can be a bit tricky to tell the difference between, "hey, this is how I finally got it to work" and "this is how you really should be doing it". I figure I know about as much about using Clojure with Emacs as anybody, so here's a run-through of how I've done my setup. Technomancy/emacs-starter-kit. Par Edit. ParEdit (paredit.el) is a minor mode for performing structured editing of S-expression data.
The typical example of this would be Lisp or Scheme source code. ParEdit helps **keep parentheses balanced** and adds many keys for moving S-expressions and moving around in S-expressions. Its behavior can be jarring for those who may want transient periods of unbalanced parentheses, such as when typing parentheses directly or commenting out code line by line.
