So many defXYZ my-var ... don't get recognized that they define a var. For instance if I use mount.core/defstate. I'd suggest allowing a little popup over any top level defXYZ statements that woule tell Cursive that this defines a var. Thoughts?

@rauh: Yes, I’m planning exactly that - not in the next release, but probably the following one.

I’m making some changes to move the definitive API solution along too, I’m hoping that will be within a couple of months.

The interim solution will also allow “this form works like let” and perhaps for and ->/`->>` too

@cfleming: Awesome! Will that also allow me to pull up docs from a dynamically created var?

Assuming that it uses a docstring right after the name symbol, yes

For instance, carmine slurps in a gigantig JSON file with all the Redis commands and defines tons of defn's with it. I don't get any docs from Cursive 😞

Ok, different problem then.

So that’s a different story. There’s another solution in the works for that, which is also required for Datomic (since it doesn’t ship with source).

Ok great, I see you're already a few steps ahead of me.

There you’ll be able to specify namespaces that should be introspected, those will generate stubs which will then be indexed as normal.

That’ll be useful for libs which are so complex that there’s no way I can add support for them like Midje & Overtone

And things like Carmine.

perfect, can't wait for these features.

Yeah, all this is the biggest missing feature I think.

This is all very tricky with IntelliJ’s indexes, which weren’t really designed for this sort of thing.

So fingers crossed, it should all work

Can somebody develop a structural editing plugin for Webstorm? I’m being forced to write JS and severely missing the raise function 😄

aaah the pain when you have to go back to coding in a non-lisp

had that with c# and VS, I feel your struggle

The struggle is real
