Does anyone have ClojureCLR running under emacs via slime?

Failing that, can anyone give me some pointers as to how I might
hacking swank-clojure.el (or whatever) to get this to work?

Hi Mike,

I've not heard of anyone doing this. The changes to swank-clojure.el would involve changing how it sets up the Clojure process. Instead of calling Java with a classpath, it needs to call ClojureCLR's executable. The real work would be in the swank-clojure clj sources. Every use of a Java standard library class would have to be replaced with an appropriate CLR base class library class.

Yes, you would basically have to rewrite swank-clojure, as it depends
heavily on the JDK socket libraries.

Perhaps this could be implemented like CL Swank <http://github.com/technomancy/slime>, with a portable core and platform specific backend modules.
