  • Logging in Clojure: jar tidiness
    4 projects | dev.to | 5 Aug 2022
    A really nice dev experience is if your editor can connect to socket repls. Doing this makes running a repl from a jar or from your regular "dev" setup almost indistinguishable. I can easily repl from a prod jar as from a branch in Clojure and my workflow is exactly the same because I use inf-clojure

    I have the feeling, that https://github.com/clojure-emacs/inf-clojure might be a better starting point and a good stepping stone, before they get into CIDER. (but i haven't used inf-clojure enough, so it's just a gut feeling)
  • Problem with namespaces in CIDER (Spacemacs)
    3 projects | /r/Clojure | 10 Jul 2022
    maybe https://github.com/clojure-emacs/inf-clojure is a better way to get started, because you don't have the convenient magic of the nREPL protocol in the picture?

    > I do think cider (https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider) has stuff regarding stepping debuggers, but I'm not sure how common it is to use it. Maybe other Clojure users can fill me in :)

    I don't really care about stepping; for me the debugger is about inspecting the state of my program when an exception (maybe because I interrupted it, or because I inserted a breakpoint, or just because something went wrong) happens. Backtrace, local variables, evaluating forms at different stack frames and so-forth.

  • Thoughts on Clojure λ
    3 projects | dev.to | 7 Jan 2022
    This was a pain. I tried using vscode with calva, but gave up pretty soon after starting. Ended up using emacs with cider, which was pretty nice, but had a huge learning curve for me since I'm not an emacs user. (Maybe I am after this...)
  • On New IDEs
    3 projects | /r/lisp | 24 Nov 2021
    I was wondering that what the author and other redditors here would think of/about Cursive, an affordable IDE for Clojure, while they have cider in Emacs as well.
  • An Update on CIDER 1.2
    2 projects | /r/Clojure | 24 Nov 2021
    I'm very excited about sideloader feature in nREPL 0.9 and the corresponding ability for CIDER to upgrade the connection, adding its middleware. But I don't see this connection upgrading feature ticket #3037 in the plans for CIDER 1.2, but the sideloader ticket #246 is listed in the plans for nREPL 0.9. It seems that #3037 is held only by #246, so if it will be solved by the time 0.9 release, will there be plans to supporting it in CIDER 1.2?
