Nextjournal newbie here. I understand that Clerk has no built-in editor. Is there some lib that people use to add editor funtionality so that you can both live edit the clojure sources and eval them with Clerk in a browser? I found https://github.com/oakes/Nightlight but that has been archived.
We built https://github.com/nextjournal/clojure-mode which gives you a decent editing experience that also powers Clojure editing on http://nextjournal.com. Letting folks opt into Clerk evaluation semantics on http://nextjournal.com is not possible yet but itβs something weβre thinking about.
So clojure-mode is for the browser front end. Is there an OS clojure backend like Nightlight has that works with clojure-mode?
not that I know
Better Clojure highlighting with #nextjournal clojure-mode: https://blog.michielborkent.nl/better-clojure-highlighting.html I got it down to 200kb (79kb gzipped) now.
BTW Clerk is being used a lot in the Scicloj group sessions this weekend. It is bringing lots of joy. A few of these sessions are previews of the workshop events we're having this month, so more Clerk use is expected.
That's great to hear, thank you! Also for suggesting to submit the talk
