I'm trying out Krell and trying to get a good REPL setup.

This is Krell: https://github.com/vouch-opensource/krell/wiki/Reagent-Tutorial

Here's my REPL config...

The problem I have is it starts in "CLJ mode" which means symbols don't resolve and I can't load code from the editor. I can switch over using the dropdown - then it works fine.

Is that something Krell can fix - some kind of handshake which might be missing as the REPL boots?

Yes, Cursive switches between REPL types by scanning for particular output lines. That should be configurable, but isn’t at the moment. The current check looks like:

(or (.contains ^String line "Type `:cljs/quit` to stop the ClojureScript REPL")
    (.contains ^String line "To quit, type: :cljs/quit")
    (re-matches #"ClojureScript [0-9\.]+" line))

I’ll look at making that configurable for the next release.

Wouldn't it be possible to just check the prompt?

cljs.user ?

hrm, though I see that you're probably detecting Clojure by looking for the version string ...

and that avoids issues w/ starting in a different ns as well
