How does that work...? isnt emacs a terminal-based editor?

noisesmith00:12:52

emacs has multiple display options, terminal is one of them but probably not the one most people are using

akiroz00:12:28

huh, ok.... most of my daily workflow still revolves around a 16-color terminal emulator, gawd I'm primitive.

noisesmith00:12:35

mine too (git/vim/repl in terminal are how I get most of my work done)

echristopherson00:12:30

in what way does Emacs have Chrome in it?

dpsutton00:12:10

It can be compiled with webkit I think

qqq04:12:25

hmm, it'd be useful to have emacs output rendered in svg

qqq04:12:31

and then to be able to modify the svg output via elisp

noisesmith04:12:17

I used emacs' built in svg renderer years ago before chrome support ever hit

noisesmith04:12:31

there's a keystroke to switch between the svg as code and the image

qqq04:12:53

I think we're talking something slightly different

noisesmith04:12:59

(it might have involved some kind of svg->postscript thing in the background)

qqq04:12:02

I want the buffer / clojure repl / cider errors to be rendered via svg

qqq04:12:09

and then to be able to modify them via elisp

noisesmith04:12:10

aha, that is different yes

noisesmith04:12:27

I misunderstood

qqq04:12:31

now that I think about it a bit more; basically I'm asking for: a browser with elisp as scripting language + all existing elisp packages ported + perhaps never loading remote URLs to avoid code execution

qqq11:12:42

I need an abbreviation for 'tensor', which takes only 2-3 chars

vemv16:12:21

tor? random abbrevs are sometimes used in clojure.core, e.g ctor or xform

qqq11:12:56

so far, best I have in mind is "arr" (short for array, which iks underlying rep of tensors)

I have some data and I want to visualize it various ways. Rather than code the charts myself, I'd like to just pour the data into something that can graph it. I'd kinda like a notebook thingy, but GorillaRepl doesnt seem to have a lot of love, http://zeppelin.apache.org and http://jupyter.org/ seem to treat clojure as pretty far down the checklist, https://metabase.com/ seems pretty nifty. Does anyone else have ideas (besides learning excel/libre office - which might also be good)

jsa-aerial19:12:14

There is new work on Clojure+jupyter. However, my goto thing for this now is vega-lite https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/ - completely data driven and impressively interactive. You don't need an API - just use clj/cljs maps. A simple client-server using sente and cljsjs wraps for vega, vega-lite and you are set. Ask in #data-science where this stuff comes up often.

bherrmann13:12:29

My dataset is very small.

vemv16:12:39

wondering what neat clojurescript stuff could one do with https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Embedded-WebKit-Widgets.html maybe: tighter devcards integration? code something, see results right in emacs probably I wouldn't embed my SPA within emacs (as one needs devtools, tabs, etc), but for smaller components this could be a thing
