The vim-fireplace docs say: >First, set up cider-nrepl. (If you skip this step, fireplace.vim will make do with eval, which mostly works.)

If we don't have cider-nrepl installed... what happens? Which parts will no longer work?

Some Completion, some source finding, some docs, etc. It's essentially the same, but the code it runs is a hacked together version of cider-nrepl, and doesn't work for a lot of edge cases. @weslord

Is there a way to verify that it's installed and working? I've put cider-nrepl in my lein profile.clj, but I don't see any difference.

I'm pretty new to this whole ecosystem, if that's not abundantly clear.

:echo fireplace#message({'op': 'cider-version'}) should tell you :)

That's perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
