conjure VS aniseed

I was going to say, in 2023 I looked around and for Clojure at least Conjure seemed like the best option.

Unfortunately, in the table linked above the CL support in Conjure is so-so. I'm curious what people use for CL or if it's still slimv/vlime.

I did a write up configuring Conjure with neovim here if that's something that's appealing:

The excellent olical/conjure plugin is now lua (via fennel..) but it was originally written in clojure and you can still see the code on the legacy-jvm branch https://github.com/Olical/conjure/tree/legacy-jvm

Install conjure plugin

> You mean that you accidentally "overwrite" (declare again) a function with the same name as the one you're now declaring, but you didn't mean to?

I mean I use let to bind a variable with the same name as a function. This is idiomatic in Common Lisp, and totally breaks things in most other languages.

> This I'm also curious about, what exactly SLIME gives you that for example Conjure for neovim wouldn't already? Maybe something about continuations perhaps? That seems to be the only feature I've seen from Common Lisp (besides actually being able to compile to binaries) that I'd love to have in Clojure.

I watched a video and it does seem rather complete, but [1] indicates there is no debugger? That's a rather glaring omission. I also don't see a profiler mentioned, and SLIME with SBCL gives me a profiler (down to the assembly level if needed). I'm sure Java in general has great profiling tools, but how are the integrated into the Clojure system?

As an aside, by "continuations" did you mean "restarts"? First-class continuations are a feature of scheme, not CL. Indeed a huge boost to CL productivity is simply allowing you to handle an exception before the stack is unwound.

Does anyone know if there is a plugin like this one https://github.com/Olical/conjure for golang? Thank you in advance!

i know you said you didn't want source of other clients but this one is pretty simple so sharing just in case. it's from a nvim plugin https://github.com/Olical/conjure/blob/master/fnl/conjure/client/common-lisp/swank.fnl

aniseed

You don't need to transpile it if you use https://github.com/Olical/aniseed

Something similar: Fennel (https://fennel-lang.org/) is a lisp that compiles into Lua, which nvim can use as plugins, so you can write nvim plugins in a lisp. Aniseed (https://github.com/Olical/aniseed) makes this really easy.

Just use vim. Yes, emacs has a lisp engine, but so does nvim[1]. Really, though, using vim properly means that it doesn't need to swallow the kitchen sink[2]. Just use vim.

I use Aniseed to write my configs in Fennel, and I can't seem to find a way to get Aniseed bootstrapped and managed by lazy. Folke has said that fennel isn't supported in issues about hotpot and tangerine, but neither of them particularly help me solve my issue

Have you tried aniseed ?

Aniseed: mostly an environment, it does handle configuration. It adds a lot of clojure features (another modern Lisp) such as a module system. It does seem to be slower to startup though, but I really like how its module system works and still use it for that reason alone. There's not much boilerplate code, just add it to the header

The easiest would be to use aniseed: https://github.com/Olical/aniseed, it has a bootstrap script that downloads all the needed dependencies: https://github.com/Olical/aniseed, it also adds some syntax niceties and testing support. Here's an example of a plugin: https://github.com/katawful/kat.nvim
