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.

#!/bin/bash
# virtualenv-auto-activate.sh
# 
# Installation:
#   Add this line to your .bashrc or .bash-profile:
#
#       source /path/to/virtualenv-auto-activate.sh
#
#   Go to your project folder, run "virtualenv .venv", so your project folder
#   has a .venv folder at the top level, next to your version control directory.
