Development environment

Software:

• git (duh!)
• Leiningen (project & build management)
• Atom (editor)

Atom plugins:

• Parinfer (infers lisp's brackets)
• editorconfig (consistent cross editor configuration see .editorconfig file)
• proto-repl (clojure REPL & integrated environment)
• ink (used by proto-repl for richer UIs)
• (optional) proto-repl-charts (generate charts from clojure data into Atom)
