There is now a Why Calva? page on the Calva site: https://calva.io/why-calva/ Please share it around at will. 😃

@pez and @brandon.ringe I'm coming from Spacemacs and just started getting familiar with Calva with VSpaceCode. Calva has been a great experience so far and a pleasure to use. Thanks for all your hard work! I'd like to help add a smartparens feature I use heavily called sp-kill-hybrid-sexp https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens/blob/master/smartparens.el#L6711 I'm not fluent in any of TypeScript/JavaScript/elisp/VS Code but could give it a go if it makes sense to add. If so I might pester you guys for guidance 😁

Awesome, @amar. I'll be happy to assist in any way I can. I suggest you start with looking at paredit-tests.ts. If you install the Mocha Test Explorer extension, it's very easy to run and debug the tests.

When using https://calva.io/reveal/, should it mirror repl evaluations or does it work with tap only? The reason I ask is it’s not mirroring Calva’s repl evaluations, but tapping works fine.

I think it should mirror the evaluations...

I wonder if anyone else has had this issue before and was able to fix it. I remember this same problem happened when I first tried Reveal w/ Calva ages ago but I was never able to resolve it 😭

I'm away from my computer today and tomorrow, so I can't check things. However, iirc, there is a Calva command for tapping the last evaluated results. If not, it is easy to create one using custom REPL commands.

For those of you who run Leiningen projects, this nrebl-middleware update allows me to run Calva + REBL 🎉

I’ve also had some luck with #portal

Both of these two visualization tools help to scratch the itch for the functionality that #protorepl used to provide

@mschmele I have Reveal running in every REPL I start -- I love it! I have quite a few custom VS Code tasks to send various things to tap> so I can view Java docs and http://clojuredocs.org inline in Reveal, amongst other things.

Oooh very nice I’ll have to check that out! I’m still trying to learn how to be more efficient with using tap> for running code snippets

(I should probably point out that although I'm using Calva for editing/static stuff/LSP, I'm using Clover for the REPL and therefore have my custom tasks as ClojureScript code that Clover runs to install the tasks)

> Calva uses a mix of static and dynamic analysis to power the experience. That's damn cool 💪 Relatedly, looks like it could be mentioned in the README? currently only CIDER is mentioned
