We officially have too many plugins

Seems to talk to stdout/stdin

We should maintain a "plugins I'd love to have" list. I'd love (for example) to have kibit/[neomake,ale,syntastic] integration

Have you ever tried https://github.com/venantius/vim-eastwood/blob/master/README.md previously?

No, I kinda want something async that runs in the background. Now we have Acid, we could try revisit it that way. I can't see Ale having callback support, which would have been the best case.

I think having a list is a good idea. It would be helpful to have a list of all the good plugins that exist now too.

yeah

I guess its like everything vim, it takes a bit of work to get a good clojure setup, would be cool if we could make that easier.

A few pointers are good, yeah

something like https://cider.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ would be good to aspire to

I intend to have Acid supporting static analysis in the future

static analysis?

There are a few things I want acid to have additionally to nrepl communication, for example syntax coloring and static analysis.. Of course I don't plan to create a whole structure for that, but I want to be able to provide pluggable parts so it can be extended that way

Like vim-clojure-highlight? But better! :)

Yep, without depending on fireplace, which is synchronous

Yep

That could also be implemented without nrepl connection, by running tools.analyzer on nodejs

@juhoteperi I toyed with that idea, but didn't seem to get a data structure that told me about types very much. Rewrite-cljs seemed to know what it was doing though

Hmm, yeah there is no really type information in AST level

I just want it for uneval (#_) as that's the most annoying thing that's missing, but is beyond vims highlighting

@dominicm do you know why vim’s highlighting is so rudimentary compared to emacs? don’t mean to start a flame war (honestly!) just curious more than anything as to why vim’s hasn’t been improved

most people are still using the original regex engine with ruby because it is faster right? just seems a bit weird that it hasn’t been changed
