@ibdknox: you definitely need to get this project on kickstarter (to fund the work on an open source implementation ideally) it could really change the way people approach software development and Clojure in particular. The ideas you're presenting aren't necessarily new, but if they didn't caught on was more due to being done at the wrong time or the wrong way. I could definitely see you being able to pull it off!

Anyone's who's Googled around for the "proper" way to setup Emacs for Clojure development (and found innumerable blog posts dating back 5 years each with completely different instructions) is intimately aware of what an easy-to-use IDE for clojure, one with a simple install procedure on multiple platforms, would do for language adoption.
