Is this still current? https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/wiki/Road-Map

In particular, what is the goal with verified working nREPL integration? Would this be a replacement for Piggieback?

@plexus not current - after the REPL overhaul there’s really nothing left for us to do

I’ve looked at Piggieback several times, IMO it’s pretty broken and there’s not much we can do about that

I need to create analysis cache in edn format

I’m building my project with :optimizations :none. Therefore :analysis-cache is true automatically

But the analysis cache is in json format

and eval-str doesn’t digest json in :cache

Please help

@dnolen would you mind elaborating a bit more on that? From looking at Piggieback I agree it's pretty broken, but is there really no better way?

I’m sure there is a better way but I don’t know anything about it

we’ve done our part, the ClojureScript REPL mimics the Clojure one

it’s up to the community to ensure that the nREPL integration is sensible

ok, that's reasonable... I guess it will take some imagination, we seem to be stuck in a local maximum with piggieback

and it’s just not my problem

I fixed this 2 years ago and sunk many months to it

that this isn’t fixed yet is quite strange to me ...

alright, I see where you're coming from. I think it's a combination of Piggieback being "good enough" for most people, and it being code that not many want to get too close to

I'll give it a think, I think the hardest part is figuring out what the result should look like. All the pieces are there.

it’s not clear to me how essential many of the implementation choices in Piggieback actually are - as in are they actually a requirement for an nREPL client

I found the all implementation design decisions around nREPL to be quite baffling

@dnolen any idea about the question i asked regarding analysis cache

@viebel no context, what was your question?

I need to create analysis cache in edn format

I’m building my project with :optimizations :none. Therefore :analysis-cache is true automatically

But the analysis cache is in json format

and eval-str doesn’t digest json in :cache

right because Transit is in your deps

there’s no way to change that right now - I think there’s a JIRA ticket for it

I see. Is there a way to convert the json into edn?

read it and write it out again

The data in the edn file looks completly different than the data in json

in edn: there is something like:

{:rename-macros {}, :renames {}, :use-macros {}, :exclude
etc…

And in json, there is something like:

"~:rename-macros" ["^ "] "~:renames" ["^ "] "

@viebel that’s transit-in-json

Thanks

I will check it @joost-diepenmaat

@viebel you can read the transit (JSON) and write back out the edn

Thx
