Pretty magical clojure + gcp moment for the day — - sshed and opened prod repl...all over mobile!

It's so hard to overstate just how much Production REPLs feel like a legitimate superpower.

Yes, we run Socket REPLs in several of our production apps. Setting up an SSH tunnel over VPN and then connecting to the process from your editor -- and having the exact same workflow as when you're developing locally -- is, indeed, a superpower! 🙂

(I use Atom/Chlorine and Socket REPLs everywhere)

I get that this has a lot of advantages, but seriously, alone the thought of being able to mess up something via a connection to my production code by just accidentally pasting something to the repl that should stay in the dev env makes me shiver 😄

hi fellow Clojurists I want to parse postgresql database url and trying the following code

(java.net.URI. "")

Error printing return value (MalformedURLException) at java.net.URL/<init> (URL.java:617).
unknown protocol: postgresql

clj
Clojure 1.10.1
user=> (java.net.URI/create "")
#object[java.net.URI 0x64b31700 ""]

@umardaraz4747 your editor (probably CIDER?) is trying to be helpful and throwing an exception while printing

note it says "Error printing return value"

not an exception while constructing the URI

you can turn off this feature in CIDER that slurps & prints URIs. (It's annoying)

Why does this second form fail with a malformed fn exception? Can anyone point me to something to read to learn more about what eval does?

(eval `(+ 2 2))
  (eval `(defn foo [] (+ 2 2)))

Because the ` will qualify foo

And defn spec takes an unqualified symbol as function name

So either ‘ instead or ~’foo
