clj-kondo v2019.07.05-alpha! 🍻 Features: faster parsing, misplaced docstrings https://github.com/borkdude/clj-kondo/releases/tag/v2019.07.05-alpha

arch package also updated 🙂

thanks, that was fast 🙂

is that arch package code in a git repo somewhere?

Have a look...

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=clj-kondo-bin

All I've done is provide a PKGBUILD which pulls down your release and does the work for making it suitable for isntalling on arch.

It's very very very similar to FreeBSD ports

basically, I find it a joy to use, so much easier than the dance one has to do for debian based distros

nice. I've been looking into making a package for ubuntu/debian, but this looks much simpler 😅

more like brew

it's a bazillion percent easier

from an ex-maintainer

btw, I'm not saying that debian is bad (it was the first distro I used), just that packaging can be hard.

I think I'll close that issue then 😛

fwiw, that's one of the good reasons to use an arch-derived distribution 🙂

I might consider arch if I go off MacOS one day

for server, I still run Debian

NixOS also seems interesting, I know someone who is a true fan and has his new laptop up and running really fast with his setup

Looks good!

Diversity in the ecosystem is good

It seems at Juxt they are also using Arch a lot

I really like Arch. I like that I know precisely what I've setup and I like knowing it's a rolling release.

not waiting 6 months for upgrades to stuff.

has everything I need for a distro

yeah, nixos seems to have quite a learning curve, arch is looking attractive to me

The arch wiki is one of the reasons too. It's very comprehensive.

i used to use nixos -- if it weren't for the odd programming language you have to learn i might still be 🙂

yes, the arch wiki is quite the resource.

you don't have to start with arch itself though -- it's easier to try manjaro and get a fair bit of the benefit.

what's manjaro then compared to arch?

roughly, think of ubuntu is to debian as manjaro is to arch

much easier to set up and most of the packages from arch work on manjaro (at least the user-contributed ones at aur i've been using fine)

aur == https://aur.archlinux.org/

easy enough to try in a vm 🙂

is aur also possible on other distros like ubuntu, just like you can install linuxbrew?

not that i'm aware of

i think portions of nixos (nixpkgs, i think) is/are though

at least that used to be true

@borkdude have you considered using https://snapcraft.io/ to package clj-kondo for multiple Linux distributions? Looks very simple. Its the approach that Heroku CLI, VS Code and Slack take. The package is self-contained, so you are not installing into the operating system, keeping a nice clean separation (I currently install clj-kondo in $HOME/bin rather than in the OS file system)

I haven't considered it, but thanks for mentioning it, I'll take a look

i note with interest, the criticism section of the wikipedia article for snappy, as well as a couple of other alternatives that sound similar somewhat there.

@borkdude btw, any further thoughts on: https://github.com/borkdude/clj-kondo/issues/234 ?

still on the list, will implement it, but not sure when it will be released

@jr0cket does it matter which base image I choose? for Docker I normally try alpine for small size. does this matter with snap?

thanks - do you think finding definitions would be doable too? my impression from looking at clj-kondo's source was that it might be doable without too much work.

yeah, I think so 🙂

looking forward to it 🙂

@sogaiu fwiw, now I use ag for that

i am a heavy user of ag too -- it's just that if clj-kondo can do it, standalone non-repl dependent editor tooling that is light and fast may be doable for "jump-to-definition" functionality 🙂

this here thingy? https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher

yep

yep

it's basically grep, but faster

huh, I think today is turning out to be a good day to learn new things

@jr0cket or anyone else using snap: https://snapcraft.io/clj-kondo welcome to try it out and report success or problems

36 minute turn around time from suggestion to release!

faster than the silver searcher

https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep

that coupled with FZF == power!!!!!

ripgrep is amazingly fast

Ripgrep is the default search tool for Spacemacs (if you have ripgrep installed), otherwise it looks for silver surfer (ag) and then grep... Ripgrep is very fast.
