@arrdem: the state of the REPL is one of the biggest outstanding changes in our roadmap

bozhidar09:06:32

right now it’s pretty much an exact copy of SLIME’s REPL

bozhidar09:06:58

and as I mentioned in the tickets you posted we should aim to reimplement it in terms of comint

bozhidar09:06:38

sly, geiser and ielm are already using comint and it’s clearly the way to go

bozhidar09:06:59

this change shouldn’t be very complex, but I’m always a bit short on time...

bozhidar09:06:26

guess that it’s ok to patch some stuff in the mean time, given the slow progress in the “right” direction

arrdem09:06:53

@bozhidar gotcha. I may take up the standard this weekend... Doing a lot of repl testing and exploring that I have to share with a team hence the pain and tickets.

arrdem09:06:14

Besides it's about dang time I wrote a reasonable amount of elisp

arrdem09:06:51

Jk emacs and Vim can both burn I want my cljmacs

bozhidar09:06:53

basically you just have to go through sly or ielm’s code and adapt it for cider

arrdem09:06:08

License issues?

bozhidar09:06:17

the REPL buffers are already backed by the connection process, so the hardest part of the job is already done

bozhidar09:06:31

none, that’s GPL after all simple_smile

bozhidar09:06:09

as sly was forked from slime adapting their code should likely be simpler than ielms

If there's anything anyone would like to see in the debugger, do speak up!

malabarba20:06:32

And now is the time to ask. I have a couple of free days ahead so the sky is the limit.
