alive VS penpot

You may be interested in https://github.com/nobody-famous/alive which brings the power of slime to vscode (Mostly, it's relatively new and missing some features, but getting better all the time)

I’ve recently been enjoying using Alive with vscode(and copilot). Everyone suggests emacs+slime but it always felt like too many things to learn at once. Being able to use my usual ide has made it so much more pleasant. Recommend it to newcomers.

I was motivated to learn some lisp last year but couldn't find any usable plugins for IntelliJ (and I refuse to learn Emacs). I ended up using VSCode with the Alive extension: https://github.com/nobody-famous/alive

Also perhaps collab with this dev. https://github.com/nobody-famous/alive

I also read up on alternatives, and also tried out the alive VSCode extension. Unfortunately, I could not get it to work on my machine.

My recommendation would be Alive, a Visual Studio Code extension. It still has a few rough edges (for example, one bug I tripped on is that it doesn’t work super great with VSCode’s anonymous tabs, it apparently expects a file on disk), but is still far and away the best free non-emacs CL development environment I’ve used.

Imagine designers and coders working seamlessly together. That's what Penpot aims to do. It's a tool where designers can create stunning designs, interactive prototypes, and design systems at scale. Developers then have ready-to-use code, which makes their workflows faster and more efficient. Penpot's latest version receives a new grid CSS layout, new UI, new components system, and more components. Oh and there's now light AND dark mode 🎉.

This is how I see things also. Clojure is extremely practical and naturally attracts people that want to ship products.

The "Figma OSS Alternative" post that's also on the HN homepage right now doesn't mention Clojure anywhere (no comments about it either!), but Penpot is clearly also yet another app successfully shipped using Clojure: https://github.com/penpot/penpot

Really neat. I was mainly curious to know when they are planning to release the self hosted docker versions of Penpot 2.0. Looks like its coming in the next couple days hopefully [1].

Penpot - Open Source Alternative to Figma

- Penpot (open source) - penpot.app/

A colleague had a quick presentation on Penpot[1] a few weeks back. Was a real contender I think.
