Good question! No idea yet, I'm thinking at the very least I can start the Janet process from Neovim and then read/write stdio but I'd like something a bit richer than that if I can get it.

So I can tell the difference between stdout etc.

I might have to design my own wrapping of calls to capture and tag output.

Another longer term approach would be implementing an nREPL server for it.

Since all you need is a server, bencode and a fairly simple handler function.

Wait, Janet is bakpakin too!?

That's the person behind Fennel alongside technomancy haha

yes

it's awesome stuff

Now I'm even more impressed.

there is a net branch that has some work on tcp stuff too

Ah so network isn't a standard easy to use thing with Janet?

it's thanks to you and your fennel / aniseed work that i started looking into it 🙂

it doesn't seem to be yet

but there is recent work so i'm guessing it won't be long

Well yeah, maybe I'll end up with a minimal stdio based thing to begin with then upgrade to a networked (either faithful or loosely based on nREPL) implementation

Same with Racket really.

ah, racket doesn't have an nrepl thing?

I don't think so.

it has been so many years so i have no idea what's up with racket these days 🙂

i'll go sniff around

Each of these will be their own challenge and tradeoffs, but should be fun since I can implement them as drop in modules that can be rewritten or replace without impacting the rest of Conjure.

Modular design ftw

how about this? https://gitlab.com/technomancy/ogion

Does this guy ever stop building cool things

ha ha ha

apparently not

you seem to be doing your share too 😉

That looks great to be honest. I wouldn't connect the Conjure Clojure nREPL client to it since it assumes Clojure (babashka is okay). So I'd extract the nREPL parts out into a reusable module and write a Racket stdio module and a Racket nREPL module I think.

As far as I can tell, if you want a good Racket eval experience you have to use DrRacket at the moment, it'll be nice to give them more options https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5352997/programming-schemeracket-with-vim-how-to-get-started

It'll make working though SICP more attractive to me too 😅

I didn't like the inability to just eval forms while working on MIT Scheme

Having to edit things into the bottom of the file, save, change terminal and exec the file got boring after a while.

it's been so many years since i touched sicp, i don't remember much of what i tried with 😅

may be i should try again

I mainly gave up because math tends to break my brain and I found that harder than the programming concepts by an order of magnitude.

I couldn't even get to the interesting "write a language" bit because I was getting stuck googling what different mathematical symbols meant (I had to draw them on a character lookup website to find out what they were called)

i have similar experiences -- but luckily these days there are more online resources and people to be easily queried

i've had the exact same experience with SICP!

I'm more arch linux user, but I usually check which one is active using this command: pacmd list-sinks | grep -e 'name:' -e 'index:'

Then I can set the one I want to use with: pacmd set-default-sink 1

where 1 is the id listed on the command above

try close the app you want to use your headphone before

Ah interesting, thanks! I'll take a look at some point. If I undock everything and just plug the jack in it's all fine

It's when I have the USB soundcard in that everything messes up

yeah, same happens here with a usb headset, so I need to do the set-default

try installing pulseaudio volume control

and see if you can adjust the inputs/outputs?

Yeah, tried that, it's just not there 😬
