@chadhs: thanks. I tried it few months ago, but I'd like to setup the "real" emacs, and use it from terminal, the oldschool way. Besides, vim is not really a preference, it is just my default choice since the python times. The evil-mode is not a goal here too.

artemyarulin15:11:33

Ha, I should create the same but with om-next simple_smile

artemyarulin15:11:39

but cool indeed

mfikes15:11:20

It seems that two high-level approaches to React Native are (1) embrace the packager and associated web technologies, (2) embrace ClojureScript's compilation model, remoting it

mfikes15:11:38

I think we need to pursue both to learn the strengths and weaknesses of each

artemyarulin15:11:39

ClojureScript by itself fixes a lot of problems in UI development, but using it with libs like re-frame and om-next solves majority of the issues with UI. I’m really happy about using it all, especially because I’m replacing already existing functionality with CLJS - so I see the difference immediately

mfikes16:11:57

I suppose, (tell me if I’m wrong, because I don’t have a whole lot of experience), that Figwheel is like a analog of the React Native packager… in that it runs a server that can be used to fetch code to be loaded into the target environment.

artemyarulin16:11:50

hm.. kinda the same

artemyarulin16:11:17

but it’s more powerful - you can load whatever you want, skip, reload all the time, so on

mfikes16:11:21

Yeah, Figwheel is a packager that understands ClojureScript and its semantics

mfikes16:11:04

Just trying to get this straight in my head: So what Will Decker achieved is he figured out a way to make React Native’s packager work with Figwheel (a ClojureScript packager), by shimming some stuff in Chrome. I need to read the code to understand the details, but it appears that this is the architecture involved.

mfikes16:11:38

(Well, he made the app go to Figwheel instead of React Native’s packager, I suppose).

10-4 @misha, makes total sense. in that case a good resource is the chapter on emacs setup here: http://braveclojure.com

misha19:11:20

@chadhs: yeah, that chapter is one of ~5 emacs setup "manuals" I have bookmarked until better times. but that's a topic for #C050AN6QW : ) thanks
