Hello everyone. What do you say about using #calva in our examples instead of Cursive? It’s free and very popular. Then we can have a separate section that describes how to configure the polytool with other IDEs. What do you say?

We don't use either, so it's all good

As a Cursive user, I think you're good as you are now 🙂 But whatever you feel appropriate.

According to the State of Clojure 2021 http://surveymonkey.com/results/SM-S2L8NR6K9/ VS code is only third (13%) behind Emacs (44%) and Cursive (31%)

imre08:08:02

Things could have changed since then

tengstrand10:08:59

Then maybe leave it as it is. It seems like most people can figure out how to set it up in their favourite IDE already.

imre13:08:39

In any case, whichever editor you use for your main examples, it's a friendly gesture to have a section with some guidelines for other editors too.

tengstrand15:08:19

Yes, I agree.

One thing that's nice about Calva is that in the example app repo, you could add a GitPod button (like I have in several of my repos) so folks could spin up VS-Code-in-a-browser with a REPL to try working with a Polylith app in the browser - zero install needed.

seancorfield15:08:35

(you'd want something more like the setup @U0ETXRFEW himself uses -- my setup has Clover and uses a Socket REPL because that's how I work)

I’m actually planning to add some conf for this to the repo. If that turns out as good as I (and @U04V70XH6) think it will be, then it could make sense to use that setup for the examples?

That would actually be handy

tengstrand16:08:45

It would help people getting started, and it’s open source.

pez18:08:51

For the record: Cursive is free of charge for open source work, I think.
