Difficulty installing vsClojure

[Yasha]

Hi,

This looks like an absolutely wonderful tool, so thank you very much!

Unfortunately, I am having some difficulty with installation, or at
least I think I am.

I've installed vsClojure via the extension manager, and it seems to be
present: I can create new Clojure projects and they have syntax
highlighting. However, I can't see any buttons or tools specific to
Clojure - no REPL, no ability to run programs, etc. The whole thing
looks exactly the same as when editing C#.

I am very new to both Clojure and Visual Studio, and don't really know
what I'm doing (I was hoping to use this to learn). Sorry if I've
missed something obvious!

Just installed this via Extension manager, works great! After creating a Clojure project, you can right click on the file and select "Start Clojure Repl".

It seems workable. There's no syntax highlighting, and it's currently at Clojure 1.2.0, but so is IntelliJ, which I've also being playing with (in addition to Leiningen). Having ClojureCLR and Clojure (JVM) is really cool!

As a note, if you're trying to learn Clojure, I think IntelliJ is a better choice. It has code completion, easy access to the other clojure libraries (which are jar files), and so on. I've also tried Eclipse+CCW, but it was slower without code completion. Both are free, so you can't really go wrong.

Also, I use Git/GitHub, IntelliJ was easier to setup with GitHub.

YMMV
