Things have been different for well over five years...
In fact, I first presented Cursive at the conj 2014, and I'd been working on it in open beta for perhaps a year before that, so well over 10 years!
...all this fantastic "static analysis style" developer tooling by borkdude and eric dallo.
ahem
Cursive has been way ahead of the curve, yes. Sorry Colin, I'm both emacs-addled and fuzzy with timelines :D
So think of it more like "static analysis stuff for the rest of us" :D
Thank you Colin for the outstanding work and selfless, continuous gifting and self-generosity. Cursive remains one of the important pillars of Clojure journey for many beginners and seasoned pros.
You just can't ignore the amazing collaboration and camaraderie between Clojure tools builders. - you Colin, Peter (Calva), Eric (clojure-lsp), Michiel (babashka, kondo, etc.), Bozhidar (CIDER, clojure-mode), Juan (flowstorm), Chris (Portal), and many others.
Everyone, instead of competing with one another just wants for people to find their best way of using Clojure, and that is really awesome. You can see the ideas freely circulating between spaces and creating great of awesomeness for everyone in the community. I'm telling you all this as someone who doesn't even use Cursive. I still can see your work. I can tell how valuable, important and vital you are for me personally and for many of my friends and colleagues. I salute you, and every other tool-making hero. Thank you, guys!
