I did try it! and I was impressed, but one thing it did wasn't right for
me. Here is my story:

I had to give it up because, being a noob, I wanted to be able to
accidentally type extra parenthesis and see that I did make a mistake (red
underline or something like that) as opposed to being prevented from typing
the extra parenthesis. It's a somewhat surprising approach to disable
keyboard input, although I admit I did take the same approach in my self
built special-purpose editor, but then learned that it wasn't the best way.
I thought IntelliJ died on me and wasn't responding, so I restarted it and
still couldn't type that extra parenthesis. Being a noob I had no idea that
wat I was trying to do was wrong. Cursive is preemptive like that and it
can be surprising and even interruptive if your style is to paint with a
think brush then refine/remove errors. Is that a configurable thing?

Also, when I had functions defined within a main function (I am still
thinking in JS way and it's probably not best practice to do that in
Clojure but I wanted to make some functions private in a library I was
building) and Cursive was not able to detect the definitions of the inner
functions so somewhere below the definitions where I actually call the
functions they were getting highlighted as unknown. That's what I had
tweeted @cursiveclojure about on Friday, but I failed to floow up (sorry)

I'd rather use locally produced software and tools :) but that's my
feedback and I hope to reevaluate based on your response.

Thanks for the good work and for sharing it!
