Clojurians Log v2

@anmonteiro nobody, me included, said abandoned 🙏

Please @viebel let's not spread fud pretty please 😃

Apologize if it seemed so on my side

Super busy for any OSS at the moment except here and there actually

I should have refrained from writing that post on Reddit, things are always misinterpreted

@anmonteiro my goal was exactly to make @anmonteiro clarify that post on Reddit

@vigilancetech marrying in what way?

Wrt to node, lumo runs on node, so that’s pretty well married.

@vigilancetech I think you can just (js/require "electron-stuff") as needed from a lumo project

okay, well, obviously I'll have to play with it. I guess I was misperceiving how electron worked. I think I was thinking that lumo ran atop its OWN node interpreter and electron had another one with a DOM/browser. Do "nodes" have their own bytecode somewhat akin to the JVM? Because lumo compiles directly from cljs to a node executable w/o going thru the js stage, right? And that's why its so fast?

Yeah, Electron is its own thing which runs JavaScript. It would be an interesting idea if instead a modified version were created that directly ran self-hosted ClojureScript source.

When in REPL mode, Lumo compiles directly from ClojureScript to JavaScript, evaluating that JavaScript in the V8 engine it is running.

Lumo is fast in that is has low latency in starting up. But otherwise, self-hosted ClojureScript, considering raw compilation speed, is slower than JVM ClojureScript. (This is true for both Lumo and Planck.)

Is there a good story for using the Lumo REPL from Emacs? I tried installing inf-clojure, starting a Lumo socket REPL with -d and -n 5555 and connecting to it with M-x inf-clojure-connect and then (setq inf-clojure-repl-type "lumo") (or "Lumo"), but it's still a pretty rough experience. Are there step-by-step instructions somewhere aside from the inf-clojure README (those only got me this far)?

I'll clarify what I mean by "rough": hitting Enter with an empty line doesn't read/eval/print/loop; typing a valid clojure.core symbol such as "map" outputs an error "WARNING: Use of undeclared Var cljs.user/Throwable at line 1 ... <+30 lines of stack>" unless I disable company-mode.

Usable, just wondering if someone has already smoothened these things out somehow.

@pandeiro Planck is similar to Lumo in its support for -d and -n so perhaps the instructions at http://planck-repl.org/ides.html are relevant. (I don't use Emacs, so can't vouch for the experience.)

Thanks @mfikes I hadn't thought to check the Planck docs

Yeah, Planck and Lumo are similar in many respects. :)

@pandeiro I have used that combo for at least one full year

So please open an issue if you find any I will have a look

Thanks @richiardiandrea I will follow up if I make progress or get blocked
