conjure VS parinfer-rust

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

parinfer-rust, while LISP only for reasons, is still absolutely amazing overall for its performance compared to the Lua version. I do wish there were more bracketing/scope algorithms out there for other languages. With a parinfer plugin, you only need to start a bracket for it to close what it believes is your scope. Great for enclosing things in functions

While my main daily driver is also IntelliJ, and also for Parinfer, I have found that Neovim + Rust-parinfer works remarkably well.

Another example where rust's benefits show is something like parfiner. Currently I'm using my own ffi interface to https://github.com/eraserhd/parinfer-rust, and it feels significantly faster than the plain-lua version I had before. Getting to write the whole thing in rust just makes life easier and simpler

I use a combination of parinfer-rust and Conjure for my Clojure, Janet, and Fennel development.

My personal configuration is also written in fennel if you would like to take. look: https://github.com/shaunsingh/nyoom.nvim. Neovim's come a long way in what you can do with it. Fennel has a macro system as with any lisp, so you can make the syntax feel right at home with emacs https://github.com/shaunsingh/nyoom.nvim/tree/main/fnl/macros. You can even create dynamic-module like integrations with rust programs (see https://github.com/shaunsingh/nyoom.nvim/blob/main/fnl/parinfer/init.fnl, interacting with https://github.com/eraserhd/parinfer-rust/tree/master/src)

eraserhd/parinfer-rust if you do any sort of Lisp programming

Clojure is an amazing language, and so is Rust. In fact, I think learning both of them is a wonderful way to introduce ourselves to such a broad range of programming ideas that it covers over half of the seven programing ur-languages. It's even worth investigating the differences in the way these languages have developed over time (Clojure being Rich's project and Rust taking a community approach). These ideas aren't in opposition to each other. If they were, the indispensable editor plugin I use to write Clojure wouldn't exist for crying out loud.

Have you seen an excellent parinfer-rust implementation of Parinfer? It's quite fast and can be integrated with other editors, like Emacs, Kakoune, Vim, etc. I think you can try to see if your integration passes their tests.

I am currently using parinfer. It’s not exactly minimal, but it doesn’t require much configuration and doesn’t have any special keybinds.
