@nwjsmith Sadly no, but it’s near the top of my shortlist

@cfleming: Perhaps a sideways comment, but I've never understood why so many have adopted Macs for Clojure development when Linux works fine. There must be a reason...

cfleming01:08:39

@cjmurphy In my case, it’s because I want to use my mac for everything else too, and most user-level things just work better.

cfleming01:08:33

I used to use Linux on the desktop, and every year or so I read a thread on HN about someone’s experience, and they’re always full of problems that I had forgotten ever existed.

Connecting to printers/scanners/wifi/projectors etc etc.

cfleming01:08:24

So I put it off till the following year.

For development, Linux is at least as good as OSX or perhaps better, but OSX isn’t significantly worse either.

cjmurphy01:08:23

My only real loss of productivity with Linux for development is consternation trying to decide what to use to give a talk. I know there's something on the Mac, that does the job really well. So far I've always ended up using an old version of https://github.com/MysteryMachine/jobim.

Right, another thing I take for granted now is a large ecosystem of high-quality applications for pretty much anything I want to do (like create a presentation).

OSX is OK for development. If only it allowed to swap out the default window manager for something more sensible like XMonad

dm308:08:34

Amethyst is halfway there
