Clojurians Log v2

Hey Yuri! You should check out ClojureCLR if you have C# experience! #clr

Looks like the malware disguising as Calva has been removed from both marketplaces. 🎉

"Thank you for reporting this. The extension has been removed and the publisher has been banned." - response to my complaint to the marketplace.

hey @emma.audrey.g thank you for mentioning this ClojureCLR. I didn't know it. I'll search more about it. Can you inform me if ClojureCRL is project from Microsoft?

Great new @seancorfield!!!

@yurifullstack ClojureCLR is maintained by a community member (David Miller). There are quite a few dialects of Clojure these days, maintained by various community members (see Babashka, Jank, etc).

Welcome! We spoke on LinkedIn the other day, right? Here’s hoping you’ll enjoy Clojure as much as I do. 🎉

Hey @pez sure! I remember you there! I did what you said to me: Install calva on vs code. And I have already done my first hello world in Clojure. Initially, I am reading the docs for beginners at clojure website.

Sweet! Makes me happy. I am the author of those guides, so all feedback on how they work (or not) for you is super valuable. I’m also the creator of Calva, and same there. Any questions, feedback, etcetera super welcome. We are trying to make Calva helpful/easy for Clojure beginners, making your experience of interest for me. There’s a #calva channel, btw.

Perfect, @pez!! When I was installing the calva extensions on VS Code there were a bunch of them there, however I've got a question about which should I install it. The first one?

The third one is the main extension that will give you what you need to edit Clojure code and connect to the repl. The others add various other features, like allowing you to script vscode or work with ai. They're optional

Auchtually… 😃 There is no extension in that list for scripting VS Code. Otherwise exactly like that. The third extension is the main extension. (It will bundle the spritz one, which is just a workaround for a bug in VS Code.)

Oh right. That one's called joyride 🙂

The last one I don’t know what it is. Looks like something I should report to Microsoft. It even fakes the orgname.

Backseat Driver is an AI extension to Calva.

Power Tools is what it says it is. Nice to have things that are not core enough to make it into Calva.

I reported that fake Calva thing: https://github.com/microsoft/vsmarketplace/issues/1515

Perfect! I just install the third one

I reported it as abuse via the marketplace too (via email).

Sad to have to police against that kind of thing 😞

Indeed. I’m now worrying what happens to people who install that extension…

They have posted it to open-vsix too 😞
