Setting Up Clojure on OS X

I spent a lot of time trying to find a pretty optimal (for me) setup for Clojure… at the same time I was trying to dive in and learn it. This is never optimal; you shouldn't be fighting the environment while trying to learn something.

I feel like I went through a lot of pain searching Google, StackOverflow, blogs, and other sites for random tidbits of information and instructions.

This is a comprehensive "what I learned and what I ended up doing" that will hopefully be of use to others and act as a journal for myself if I ever have to do it again. I want to be very step-by-step and explain what's happening (and why) at each step.

Step 1: Getting Clojure (1.3)

If you are using vagrant, you probably-statistically are using git. Make sure you have its binary folder on your path, because that path contains 'ssh.exe'.

Now, modify C:\vagrant\vagrant\embedded\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\vagrant-1.0.3\lib\vagrant\ssh.rb to comment out the faulty Windows check and add a real SSH check:

# if Util::Platform.windows?
  # raise Errors::SSHUnavailableWindows, :host => ssh_info[:host],
                                       # :port => ssh_info[:port],
                                       # :username => ssh_info[:username],
 # :key_path =&gt; ssh_info[:private_key_path]

	Original header used now:

	### File managed with puppet ###
	## Served by: '<%= scope.lookupvar('::servername') %>'
	## Module: '<%= scope.to_hash['module_name'] %>'
	## Template source: 'MODULES<%= template_source.gsub(Regexp.new("^#{Puppet::Node::Environment.current[:modulepath].gsub(':','\|')}"),"") %>'

	Problem: When using puppet apply with relative modulepath, the information can be wrong or messy.

	Alternative 1:

	//## Moment.JS Holiday Plugin
	//
	//Usage:
	// Call .holiday() from any moment object. If date is a US Federal Holiday, name of the holiday will be returned.
	// Otherwise, return nothing.
	//
	// Example:
	// `moment('12/25/2013').holiday()` will return "Christmas Day"
