@mfikes @anmonteiro do you folk think that we are ready to add something like find-var in self-host implementations? I don't see why not but maybe I am missing something. In particular I was looking at porting cljs-tooling to self-host and that's the only thing I am missing

mfikes19:05:42

@richiardiandrea I can't see how it wouldn't work. In fact, you might be able to use cljs.core/resolve for now even without it.

richiardiandrea19:05:31

cool thanks for the answer, it would be indeed cool to add

mfikes19:05:10

Planck also has a (slightly more dynamic) planck.core/resolve if you need to support the case where the symbol isn't a compile-time constant.

richiardiandrea19:05:07

yeah I think that's the case for completion

mfikes19:05:18

The implementation is trivial now that eval is a thing:

(let [sym 'cljs.core/map]  (eval `(~'var ~sym)))

richiardiandrea19:05:39

wow that works also in lumo now, just tried 😄

mfikes19:05:46

F yeah

richiardiandrea19:05:54

ah ah!

richiardiandrea19:05:15

(meta (let [sym 'cljs.core/filter]  (eval `(~'var ~sym))))
{:ns cljs.core,
 :name filter,
 :file "cljs/core.cljs",
 :end-column 13,
 :top-fn {:variadic false,
          :max-fixed-arity 2,
          :method-params ([pred] [pred coll]),
          :arglists ([pred] [pred coll]),
          :arglists-meta (nil nil)},
 :column 1,
 :line 5099,
 :end-line 5099,
 :arglists ([pred] [pred coll]),
 :doc "Returns a lazy sequence of the items in coll for which\n  (pred item) returns true. pred must be free of side-effects.\n  Returns a transducer when no collection is provided.",

ok, reminder here: https://github.com/anmonteiro/lumo/issues/397 thanks Mike!

mfikes19:05:43

I'm glad you didn't bowdlerize my speech 🙂

richiardiandrea19:05:03

lol should I 😄

mfikes19:05:31

An F bomb every now and then is a good thing, as is juxt

New tagline for apropos clojure?

richiardiandrea19:05:58

it was very genuine 😄
