hotpot.nvim VS conjure

hotpot.nvim

There are some plugins out there that provide the Lua glue code (e.g. hotpot.nvim), but you will still have to depend on Fennel. I have not tried any of these plugins, so I have no idea how well they work. Neovim is not Emacs, and Lua is a fine language by itself, so that's what I prefer to stick with. And Vim script of course, it may be bad for plugins, but it's actually quite nice for configuration.

Hotpot: this is mostly just a Fennel compiler, but it is quite nice at that

Another method would be to use hotpot: https://github.com/rktjmp/hotpot.nvim. It's much simpler with what it does, doesn't include the macros and helper functions but you might prefer it. Here's an example: https://github.com/rktjmp/paperplanes.nvim

While there isn't an lsp, https://github.com/rktjmp/hotpot.nvim can give you diagnostics and https://github.com/Olical/conjure can give you cmp completions

I see there are 3 approaches Using aniseed: https://github.com/Olical/aniseed Using hotpot: https://github.com/rktjmp/hotpot.nvim Using plain fennel: https://git.sr.ht/~hauleth/dotfiles/tree/master/item/vim/.config/nvim/init.lua (this is just the one I found, lmk if theres a better version of this)

Hey y'all, I'm running into this issue. The solution is to remove the directory ~/.cache/nvim/hotpot. I would like to automate this when I upgrade my home environment packages as the issue seems to happen after a home-manager switch --flake --recreate-lock-file operation.

Here's a macro I wrote ages ago for my settings. Some might turn their noses up at doing this, because really you're just making a potentially leaky if not dysfunctional abstraction over nvim's actual API, but, well I did it for fun 🤷‍♂️.

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

> 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
