Many years ago, I was writing Clojure for a job and took to finally learning emacs beyond just saving a file and closing the editor.
It took about a week to finally get used to paredit-mode (and rainbow-parens, because…) but once I did it is the most productive I have ever felt, I keep trying to find that experience again.
Unfortunately the dynamic types and slow build system (lein) made the build step quite tedious (this was 11-12 years ago) - but in terms of expressing ideas, man - paredit + lisp style was amazing!
I also see close and almost unbreakable relation between clojurians and Emacs. I always tell them to snap out of it and stop wasting precious company time on configuration and writing + as the first character when doing an addition. When I get serious they always see the light as they convert to python + vim.
