CrossClj actually does this exact thing: e.g., http://crossclj.info/doc/org.clojure/core.async/0.1.338.0-5c...

Wow, I had no idea that such a thing existed. That is far more feature-rich. Thanks for posting it.

However, one advantage (or disadvantage depending on your P.O.V :) ) of the Clojalyzer is that it's not tied to Clojars. So, for instance, if you have a Java project with a single Clojure script in it, you can Clojalyze that. While it is tied to Github, that's not fundamental to how it works and I plan on improving it soon, to also allow copy/paste and fetching from other urls (at the very least).

I feel like something like this is (or should be) in my editor: like an emacs package or what have you.

Go has something similar http://godoc.org/ and I use it all the time.

That's really cool! Thanks for posting it, it's giving me more ideas for improving the Clojalyzer.

What are your favorite or most useful features of godoc?

I can pull doc strings in Vim by moving my cursor over a function and pressing K with fireplace.vim. I imagine Emacs has something similar. I get a list of functions with taglist.vim.

A typical emacs setup includes a keybinding (C-c C-d) to display the docstring for the function under the cursor, as well as the invaluable "M-." to jump right to the function's source definition.

What other features could the Clojalyzer provide that you would find useful?
