The evolution of the Emacs tooling for Clojure
summary
Migrates from an eval-based client to nREPL middleware so features run server-side and support both Clojure and ClojureScript from one codebase; adds ClojureScript support, smarter completion, a namespace browser, inspector, profiling and clojure.test integration; implements JavaDoc lookup and Java definition jumping inside Emacs, plus filtered, sanity-preserving stacktraces and a refactoring middleware that finds and renames usages precisely; claims speed and stability improvements, reports 85 contributors and ships version 0.8 with a roadmap toward CIDER 1.0.
