What Hacker News says?

  1. I had a similar problem, and by far the easiest thing for me has been: 1) Add lein-swank to the dev-dependencies of the project I'm working on (i.e., add this - :dev-dependencies [[leiningen/lein-swank "1.1.0"]] - to your project.clj file 2) lein deps 3) lein swank 4) M-x slime-connect in emacs, then accept the default host/port edit: Blogged it http://increasinglyfunctional.com/2010/05/18/my-swank-clojur...
