It was nice to see in this Reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1isg77o/which_language_is_one_for_which_emacs_is_godly_at/ many people saying that Emacs has amazing support for Clojure because of CIDER and friends. Seems we did something right! cider

the down side is it has ruined tooling for every other language out there. .... nothing can compare. š

In terms of non-LSP, nothing touches CIDER really. Ruby's ROBE is quite nice and CL's Sly/SLIME have great features in their own right but CIDER's DX is the smoothest

Well, SLIME was the principle inspiration for me in the very beginning, so Iām happy to hear someone things CIDER does some things better than SLIME. šāāļø

I don't have much CL experience under my belt but I always found it clunkier than CIDER

Having experienced Emacs for Clojure before CIDER, back in 2009, even early versions of CIDER were a revolution in usability (and fun). I've had a wonderful time using CIDER over the last decade or so. Great to see CIDER orchard continue to evolve. Thanks @bozhidar for the huge amount of effort you've put into this project and all the other maintainers and contributors to the project. It was a pleasure to be able to make a very small contribution myself.
