Search for Calva in extension marketplace and install it. Once you install VS Code, open it and go to File -> Preferences -> Extensions or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+X. I found it fairly easy to setup and use, so I think you won’t have any problems if you choose to use this environment. ![]() I choose to mention this combination first because of massive popularity of VS Code as a programming environment. The IDE we’re going to take a look in this article is Visual Studio Code OSS with Calva development environment for Clojure. For now, let’s set up our editor/IDE! VS Code + Calva There are of course many more benefits, but we’ll take a look at them when we dive further into our journey. This setup also enables us to execute (or evaluate) parts of our code in a file whenever we want it, which is very helpful for live coding. For example, many editors with Clojure environments have Paredit enabled, which handles parenthesis balance and lets us concentrate on the code we’re writing and not on counting parenthesis. Writing and executing Clojure code in an editor with integrated REPL brings us many benefits. I chose to describe the setup process for VS Code because lots of people are already using it for their various programming needs, and I figured that it will be easier for someone to try something new if it’s somewhat familiar. The important thing is that no matter which editor/IDE you’re using you will be able to follow along this and the future articles and try out the code yourself. There are several of them out there that do the job well, and I am going to mention one that is popular nowdays - Visual Studio Code. I concluded that article with a thought that the true power of Clojure and Overtone can be really experienced through using it with an IDE/editor. If you are interested in live coding you should definitely check it out. In my previous blog post I wrote a guide on setting up Overtone and starting it on your computer. ![]()
