@tolitius: I'm not sure what the problem is right now but I recommend trying out the Proto REPL demo project https://github.com/jasongilman/proto-repl-demo/blob/master/demos.md

It has some instructions for boot. Also I just heard from @seancorfield who successfully was using boot.

@jasongilman sure, I started with proto-repl-demo, I don't think it completely "works" 🙂 either. Here is from the terminal:

[try/proto-repl-demo]$ boot repl
welcome to boot
nREPL server started on port 54850 on host 127.0.0.1 - 
REPL-y 0.3.7, nREPL 0.2.12

boot.user=> (dev)
Dev profile running
#object[clojure.core$identity 0x678f867b "clojure.core$identity@678f867b"]
boot.user=>

boot.user=> (boot (dev))
Dev profile running
nil
boot.user=>

@tolitius: this is probably my lack of boot knowledge showing. Did you put in your settings to uncheck the prefer Lein option? In may be using that instead of boot. I can take a look tomorrow in person at some point if you're at the conference.

yea, it definitely uses boot, since I deleted the project.clj (to make sure)

(and unchecked the prefer flag)

sure, no rush. just wanted to play with it

A Boot repl needs to be in the boot.user ns, not user. That caught me out too.

Until ProtoREPL changes that you can just start your repl session with (ns boot.user) and all will work.

ah.. sure, missed that thanks @seancorfield

Somehow I ended up with #proto-repl and #protorepl I even forgot myself that this one isn't the original one.

ah.. so which one is "not semantically versioned" the next one? 🙂

#protorepl is the one to use?

I can archive this channel for you @jasongilman ?

(or you can, as its creator, I expect)

Can you do that? I'm not sure how to do it myself. Thanks @seancorfield
