[ANN] Planck 1.0 - Bootstrapped ClojureScript OS X REPL

[Mike Fikes]

Happy to announce that Planck 1.0 is available:

Awesome. Starts almost instantly!

Btw, in order to get a command-line editor at the repl, I run:

rlwrap -m " \ " planck

Not sure if there's some other way, but that works fine. rlwrap has a lot of nice features, esp. multi-line edit in your editor of choice.

Planck 1.3 is now available via Homebrew:

Mike, thanks for this tool. I want to use it to introduce ClojureScript to some local JavaScript devs, since they would be less likely to install anything that required the JVM. I cannot seem to get `brew install planck` to work, however. It just hangs. It looks like `brew upgrade` hangs indefinitely as well, though, so this may just be my mac's fault. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know.

Hi Zach,

Yeah, it definitely sounds like your Homebrew install has an issue.

You can also just download the binary from http://planck.fikesfarm.com (it is a self-contained single-file executable). It works on Mavericks or later.
