is this still the recommended way to use figwheel in cursive?

@bojan.matic: I believe so, but I haven’t tested it recently.

i tried it, and it works

however the part that worried me was the warning that "Use clojure.main in normal JVM process" was a more limited repl

is that ok to ignore?

i'm not so much worried as curious actually

Sure, I should put some examples there about what isn’t supported.

But it’s mostly things that aren’t supported yet in CLJS anyway (macroexpansion, test support)

I’m planning to update CLJS REPLs soon to support all that.

things that don't work in any other way of using figwheel repl, basically?

I think so, yeah.

I haven’t looked at Figwheel in enough detail to know how I’ll integrate with it, yet

so in the future, cursive will offer superior cljs repl compared to cider for example?

am i understanding that correctly?

I hope so, yes.

awesome

Although I’m not totally up to date with what CIDER offers these days.

@bojan.matic: I connect to the Figwheel REPL through nREPL instead, as described here: https://github.com/bhauman/lein-figwheel/wiki/Using-the-Figwheel-REPL-within-NRepl

The page does warn you that "you should still consider setting up a workflow that includes nREPL as an advanced undertaking as it requires a lot of contextual knowledge of the Clojure environment if something goes wrong", but in my experience, things don't usually go wrong.

so what are the pros of using figwheel through nrepl?

I can't have css syntax highlighting if I'm using community edition intellij?

bojan.matic not available 😞 https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/editions_comparison_matrix.html

sucks

I guess it's emacs time

shame, i was gonna buy cursive since it seems so well done

but i'm not buying ultimate edition of intellij just to have css

@bojan.matic: Yeah, sadly I’m not associated with JetBrains so I can’t bundle that.
