hiccup VS lisp-critic

Not equivalent, but arguably more useful for manual authoring: Emmet [0] was all the range a while back, and I still use it to write HTML. It comes naturally if you're used to writing CSS-like selectors, and mostly gets out of the way.

DSL-wise, I've rather enjoyed Clojure's Hiccup [1].

* Single-Page App: shadow-cljs for the build concerns (https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs), Reagent with Re-frame for complex/large app (https://reagent-project.github.io and https://github.com/day8/re-frame). Even if we now prefer using HTMX (https://htmx.org) and server-side rendering (Hiccup way of manipulating HTML is just amazing, https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup).

I'd prefer hiccup.

That is why I like Hiccup/ Clojure so much: https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup It is very natural to produce something resembling a document in pure Clojure data structures and then just convert it to valid HTML. I think, Reagent has some hiccup extensions that are nice like writing the class or id with a . or # notation right in the keyword describing the tag. So there probably still is some space to improve the ergonomics and probably performance. Concatenating strings still wins performance wise by a lot.

Clojure people have been doing this for a decade or so. It’s really so much better to work with. All started with Hiccup and when React came along you got Reagent and many more developments building on the idea.

You’re halfway to Clojure’s hiccup syntax[1] there.

That, or Hiccup.

I'm about to learn PureScript, coming from a functional TypeScript, Clojure and Elm background. To get a first taste for the language I thought I'd rewrite my Clojure test-app which generates static HTML files from JSON input using the (hiccup templating library)[https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup]. Is there some similar library in PureScript which would provide functions to create an HTML document and its content? I could not find anything when searching pursuit, but I might be just be using the correct search terms.

In Clojure thing are much more decentralised. We tend to use basic data structures along with data DSLs like Hiccup to build our software since this is the simplest way to convey meaning while retaining structure to perform additional data transformations.

SLIME extension for Lisp Critic.

If you really decide to dig into Common Lisp (it's not everybody's cup of tea), check this linter as well: https://github.com/g000001/lisp-critic , or this wrapper over Lisp Critic which can work very well in your CI/CD pipelines if you use them: https://github.com/40ants/40ants-critic .

Without Lem, how do you edit files? We need to edit and load files in the REPL. magic-ed could help. What if before loading the file, we added some style criticisms? The lisp-critic is waiting to be adopted and expanded (while colisper has too simple rules).

https://github.com/g000001/lisp-critic for "linting". Formatting is usually done via emacs but I am sure something just not anything I could recommend off the top of my head. As far as building and stuff via the cli Roswell exists but for most lisp development it's done via the repl.

You can find examples here: https://github.com/g000001/lisp-critic (lisp-rules.lisp) and to a smaller extent, here: https://github.com/vindarel/colisper (src/catalogue directory). The lisp-critic is available by default on this custom readline REPL: https://ciel-lang.github.io/CIEL/#/repl?id=friendly-lisp-critic so it can be tried at the terminal (in conjunction with the %edit command). It would be nice if it had better editor integration though. (it shouldn't be too hard, there's one function (critique-file pathname) to call on a file).

Maybe lisp-critic? It's in quicklisp.
