How to set up emacs for clojure, evil, hinting, paren highlighting?

I'm brand-new to both Emacs and Clojure and would like to set up hinting and syntax highlighting somehow similar to the video here. I have installed:

  • Emacs 24.x
  • Leiningen 2.x
  • Marmalade

...Then within Emacs and via Marmalade, installed the following packages:

  • Evil
  • clojure-mode
  • nrepl

My big-idea question is how do these major/minor modes interact and is there a "right" way to set these things up?
My smaller-idea question is how do I get the pretty syntax highlighting and code-hinting? Thanks!

Solution

  • Check out Emacs Live, its a full emacs configuration created by Sam Aaron. He codes allot of Clojure so this "battery included" setup works great for Clojure coding.

    https://github.com/overtone/emacs-live

    Once you have cloned this and follow the instructions you are up and running with Clojure, nrepl, git and much more.
