Hello guys, do you use any kinds of LLM/AI coding tools these days? I'm considering to give Gemini a shot, but not sure whether it's "best" for Clojure/ClojureScript. Any ideas?

Or, should I just go for Cursor?

#ai-assisted-coding has lots of discussion on this topic!

Personally I can’t give a lot of input because I’m not a Clojure developer in my day job but clojure-mcp and vscode seems like a popular combo and it has been quite capable in my brief experiements

Thanks Daniel! Didn't know there was a dedicated channel.

I'm calculating a transitive closure over a large graph, and my code is full of typos. Every time I try to write "closure" my fingers type "clojure" instead! 😫

After writing A LOT of front-end code in reagent for some years, I've got used to write the word "view" a lot. Now writing Clojure code for crypto, and every time I attempt to write viem (a lib name), I end up writing view.

Back in the early 80s, I was tweaking my system configuration so often that any attempt to type "automatic" inevitably resulted in "autoexec.bat". Similarly, all attempts to type "configuration" would result in "config.sys"
