Using Parinfer to calculate indentation when entering ClojureScript forms in Planck: https://youtu.be/q4LmSC6xdsI

@mfikes: Looks very nice.

@chrisoakman has shamed me into implementing it in Cursive now by removing all my excuses

Hah! It will be interesting to see how it works in Cursive. :) My use cases have been minimal in comparison to what must be going on in Cursive.

Yeah, it’s actually trickier than I thought, quite apart from the UI aspects of not making it terribly confusing.

very nice @mfikes

@mfikes cool

I’m not seeing any inferred parens, so I’m guessing you did some magic here

@shaunlebron: It is only using it for calculating the indentation. (Really just a minor enhancement to Planck to automatically type the spaces at the beginning of each line for you.) I think if Planck gets multi-line editing, then full-on Parinfer is on the top of my list: https://github.com/mfikes/planck/issues/120

@mfikes: cool, I like the balancing with indent-mode and then paren-mode for retrieving indentation length https://github.com/mfikes/planck/commit/7303cf8e435335e5bb054b861271e7916b886baa#diff-13fa1297261809d0414872aca47177beR30

Hehe, yeah, not the expected use case for Parinfer at all :)

clever and useful though!

@cfleming what kind of problems are you having?

@shaunlebron: It’s internal IntelliJ stuff. I have to use a document listener to get the changes to the documents, but I can’t update the document inside that listener.

So I have to some up with some way to update the document later after some event that provokes a change.

There’s also the issue that Cursive/IntelliJ will update documents that are not open in an editor with refactorings or VCS operations.

hmm

I’m not sure whether I should do those too.

At the moment I’m working on some of the UI stuff to make this more obvious, then I’m going to try actually integrating it.

I see

depending on intellij, you may have a problem making parinfer’s edits bypass the undo stack

if the parinfer edit gets added to the undo stack, undo will remove parinfer’s edit, but since parinfer runs after every edit, it will auto-redo the edit

if that makes sense

No, that won’t be a problem - I can update the doc without affecting the undo stack.

it was only a problem with Sublime Text, other editors were fine with it and didn’t require any extra work

okay cool

alright, well good luck

Thanks, I’ll let you know how I get on.

How’s the new gig?

ha, everyone here is really smart

Why thank you.

it’s a whole nother world here from what I’m used to

lol

Oh wait, you meant Stripe.

you too colin

haha

Anyway, that’s cool. They seem like a great company.

Oh stop it.

Hehe

Are you allowed to talk about what you’ll be doing, apart from infiltrating them with CLJS?

yeah, i got a little overwhelmed today, but great people and far-reaching technology

i’m working on the checkout form

they make all the new recruits get up during allhands to introduce themselves to the company

i made it clear that my secret mission was to bring clojure to stripe

so it’s not really a secret anymore

Excellent work.

It’s going to be interesting times for them with the new PCI changes.

seriously though, they’re open to new technology, and just want to add stuff incrementally in a way that doesn’t move us backwards

so we’ll see

They actually are just about to launch in NZ too.

not going in guns blazing

Good plan.

yeah cool

Anyway, I’ll let you go, I’m sure you’ve had a busy week

Seeya

I’ll let you know how I get on with this.

yeah, catch up later, good night
