I thought the example was intriguing, but it would be nice to have some minimal installation instructions for someone with no Clojure experience. Often the initial investment in getting something to function the first time is the biggest obstacle to using it. I'd like to play around with this language with my son (age 11), but I've got a ton of other things on my plate and he's got a ton of distractions (Roblox, WoW, etc.), so having to go off and look up a Clojure reference moves this pretty far down the queue for me, unfortunately. But, it's bookmarked for revisiting later.



I stuck an executable jar on my server just for you: http://classifyr.com/~zak/isla.jar - run this with

    java -jar isla.jar
then follow the instructions starting from the part about connecting with a web browser. On some operating systems and configurations, you can just double-click it and open your browser.


Thanks a lot. I've added a hastily compiled quick start readme to the repo: https://github.com/maryrosecook/isla/blob/master/README.md

It's not as complete as I would like, but I am working on it.

Is that enough to get you started? I'm happy to help out if you email me at maryrosecook@maryrosecook.com or tweet @maryrosecook
