Does anybody know how to work with ClojureScritpt in Emacs? It works perfect for Clojure (go to function definition, etc), but it doesn't work for ClojureScript. I tried all the steps from docs:
yes 😐
@abtv: try the #C0617A8PQ channel
@a.espolov: http://clojars.org doesn’t work for me either.
@colin.yates: @a.espolov: linode is having network issues with their ATL datacenter, which is where http://clojars.org happens to live
thanks @tcrawley for the update
I'm not sure I agree with it, but one thing that does concern me is that there are conversations happening in IRC, and then there's the Slack. They're separate. Has anyone discussed setting up an IRC bridge?
@sveri: yeah, I guess I've always seen JIRA, the forums, and IRC as separate types of communication.
@devn well, there is also a slack and irc clojure-dev channel, so some things might be crossing too
One of the unsolved problems of our time, information flowing through different channels
Oh, sry if I came off like this, I just wanted to throw this in, it is something I thought about for some time too without having a good idea
just gave me pause, because I'm a long-time IRC user, and I haven't run the numbers, but the number of messages has certainly decreased as people have moved to Slack.
and yet, there are a number of people I have a lot of respect for and would like to hear from who I don't think have any desire to move to Slack
people change slowly, so maybe over time some of those folks will migrate to Slack... It surprises and confuses me that Slack doesn't have a program for open source projects.
Hi @devn, this is probably why https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/10/19/reactiflux-is-moving-to-discord.html
@devn not sure what the business value of that would be for slack, getting a lot of people that are accustomed to a free service
Hehe, thats true too, most of my programmer colleagues just smile at me when I talk about IRC or even wonder what that is
everything’s great about irc - i just want my pretty printing for code samples
@griffio: I'm not sure you can say they aren't built for the open source community and just end it there. They /could/ be.
@kurtlazarus: yeah, no more: "reminder: please use the pastebin"
I work at a large university - slack would be great over there
devn, go on about security implications
a lot of people don't know they can connect with SSL, or know how to, they don't hide their details, their IP might not be cloaked, etc.
ah, thanks for the info
depending on the client the user is using for instance, there were things in the past where someone could accept an XDCC transfer on your behalf, and have your client run the file on your machine
My issues with IRC is that it requires extra effort for no real benefit; we’d lose a ton of features that Slack has. I’d have to install a bounce so I could continuously log things. I’m really fussy about naming so I doubt there’s an IRC network on the planet that doesn’t have my name already claimed by NickServ, etc. If we lose Slack, I seriously doubt I’d move to IRC.
one thing to say is that Slack does not show the history (at least to me)
