Cursive, an IDE for Clojure and ClojureScript, has reached 1.0

After Emacs&#x2F;Cider&#x2F;whatever crashed&#x2F;locked up on me for the 20th time I finally gave up and moved to Cursive over a year ago. I&#x27;ve never looked back, it&#x27;s fast, does what I need it to, and I still discover features all the time (like the clojure.test integration!). It&#x27;s also a fantastic way to get new programmers into Clojure. No need to download lein, or dozens of packages or learn a text based editor. Just install InteliJ and install a single plugin.<p>Great work.

I usually use vim for everything, but really checked out Light Table more recently. I wasn&#x27;t able to tell from any of the demos, but does Cursive offer something like the Instarepl feature of Light Table? I see you can send commands from the cursor to the repl, but there&#x27;s something magical about the Instarepl that I think is hard to beat.

Cursive is an excellent way to write Clojure and has improved my workflow tremendously. Highly recommended; I bought a license. Congratulations to Colin on a 1.0 release.

Colin has done an incredible job on Cursive. It takes full advantage of the infrastructure provided by IntelliJ to do things like where used, and refactoring. I&#x27;ve been a happy Cursive user for 18 months and now I&#x27;m a happy Cursive customer.

Great REPL, actual debugger, and all the nice IDEA features available to other languages. This is definitely my favorite way of writing Clojure by far.

I recently tried cursive... it just didn&#x27;t work right. Breakpoints didn&#x27;t actually stop, no stepping. It was supposed to do that, it just didn&#x27;t work.<p>I gave up, upgraded my copy of cider, and noticed it supports breakpoints and whatnot now. Since I&#x27;m used to emacs anyway, that works for me.<p>I&#x27;d have been happy to give cursive a whirl for a while but I couldn&#x27;t make even the most basic debugging work right, and that was the only reason I even considered trying it.

I&#x27;m a bit surprised that 1.0 came before macro-awareness (i.e., knowing that symbols emanating from macros aren&#x27;t &quot;undefined&quot;).

I&#x27;ve been using this awhile and will definitely buy a license. Congratulations on the release!

Nice work! I&#x27;m a long-time emacs user who thought that emacs was the best way to write clojure code. I was really happy with emacs as a clojure dev environment but after trying cursive recently it&#x27;s now my preferred environment for writing clojure.

Awesome! This means a lot for Clojure traction. The reality is that a lot of Clojure new arrivals are going to be still doing straight Java and this provides a nice blended experience. Hence, this is a profound contribution to adoption.

I somehow missed the pre-order offer here but I&#x27;ve been using Cursive for the odd project here and there and it fits perfectly. Love the product and look forward to buying it soon. Thoroughly worth it.

Congratulations! I&#x27;ve found Cursive to be very easy and pleasant to use throughout its development and look forward to now contributing to its development through a license purchase.

We finally have an IDE for Clojure... my god. I remember seeing Colin demo Cursive at the Conj last year; my emacs got sad.

Just tried vim-fireplace and its working good for evaluating things. Anyone has more experience using it?. I&#x27;m gonna check Cursive although I really like vim so I don&#x27;t know if I&#x27;ll get used to it.

I have been using cursive for the better part of 18 months. It&#x27;s fantastic. My .emacs file&#x27;s creation date is 2&#x2F;10&#x2F;1999, but I wouldn&#x27;t imagine using anything but lein+idea+cursive.

Congratulations! Hope too see Cursive mature and grow with clojure language

This might be answered somewhere in their blog but why build an IDE on top of IntelliJ instead of just making a plugin for it? Is this so they can charge licensing?

What ClojureScript-specific features does Cursive offer?
