I'm no Bozhidar, but thought I'd share some links you might find interesting: - https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable - Clojure editor made in Clojure, not sure if it's being maintained anymore, core authors moved on to a different project if I remember correctly. - https://github.com/mogenslund/liquid - Clojure editor made in Clojure, fairly new and basic but has a pretty tight integration with Clojure (itself really) which makes it interesting and it can also be embedded into other applications (or embed your other applications into Liquid) - https://github.com/Olical/conjure - My daily driver for Clojure development. Is not an editor by itself, but it's written in Clojure, and exposed to neovim as a vim plugin. Not only supports Clojure, but also Fennel, Janet and Racket so far. Pretty handy if you sometimes like to dive into Clojur

e-like languages that are not Clojure (or Racket).

The lambdas in the name are a bit much. On another note, this looks really cool! The mindmap demo in particular[0] is really impressive (and probably requires lots of screwing around with terminal fonts). Evaluating files as Clojure (with the e key in normal mode) is obviously stolen from Emacs, but probably better since more people know Clojure than they do elisp. I'm continually impressed with the number and quality of alternative text editors out there and I hope that this one gets the critical mass userbase necessary to sustain its development and ensure that every language imaginable supports it as a development environment, as Emacs and Vim do now.
