Nothing that intense. Wow.

It was for an (ex)bank

Same. Tier 1 investment bank.

it sounds like wanting an audit trail 🙂

Fireplace always asks me for a host or port despite there being an .nrepl-port file — is this normal?

No

Are you running :Connect?

if you are, you don't need to

Ah, I am doing that

Is there something like Emacs’ *messages* buffer that I could inspect to understand what is happening (& maybe not working) in the background?

Nothing is happening, as a rule 🙂

What are you looking for?

fwiw, most things will :echo on failure, or if you're lucky :echom and be present in :messages

Well, for instance I’m trying to get https://github.com/guns/vim-clojure-highlight to work but calling :ClojureHighlightReferences doesn’t do anything

Nothing happens in the background with that. I believe it broke a while ago, I thought someone sent in a PR though.

I mean by background I meant whatever happens after I hit enter 🙂

https://github.com/guns/vim-clojure-highlight/pull/7

(i.e. not a background process)

ah, :verbose as a prefix to the command will sometimes highlight some information

I'd try that fork though ^ 🙂

Normally you get errors. I think in this case they are silenced though.

https://github.com/guns/vim-clojure-highlight/blob/master/autoload/vim_clojure_highlight.vim#L26-L27 🙂

they're silenced because this plugin runs on an autocmd, so they don't want to spit out messages in a number of cases. Not sure it totally makes sense 🙂

do you use regular vim syntax highlighting? I’m finding it a little… sparse?

what do you mean by vim regular syntax highlighting?

here's what code looks like for me

yeah, similar. In Emacs things are a bit more nuanced. Can share a screenshot if that code is public?

https://github.com/juxt/edge/blob/master/examples/tutorial.vent/src/tutorial/vent/http_api.clj

highlights namespace aliases separately. That's the big thing I notice 🙂

does fireplace somehow maintain repl sessions when vim is restarted?

also it seems that evaluations can still block editing/movement, is that expected / is there anything that can be done about that?

Ctrl-C

But yes, evaluations from commands/operations are synchronous. You could write a background variant too though.

Sessions aren't maintained iirc. But I'm not positive on that. It may store them in ShaDa

Interesting, I thought that was the whole point of NeoVim 😄

APIs are async, and some things take advantage of that. e.g. :RunTests does.

Neovim didn't magically make everything async though. It's up to plugins to use that in a way they see fit.

that makes sense I guess 🙂 thanks for the explanation!

and sorry for my blissful ignorance 😄

now using nvim in alacritty and everything is sooooo fast!

zoom 🙂 no problem

what do you use to enable folding?

:help foldmethod

Hmmm... Why would / be included in word chars? https://github.com/guns/vim-clojure-static/blob/master/ftplugin/clojure.vim#L20

hey @martinklepsch! 👋 on the subject of asynchronous evaluation, i have to plug https://github.com/Olical/conjure, a new plugin that's based around prepl connections. i've been using it for a while now and i love it. evaluation is asynchronous, and the results all go into a dedicated buffer

see also: #conjure

hi @dave 🙂 I saw that and initially played with it but I’m using shadow-cljs and the connecting was a little to cumbersome

(or how I understood how it works anyways)

I can't get shadow-cljs' prepl to work, even through netcat 😬 I think once it's up Conjure will be fine. Also as far as async goes, it's async within your editor but only one eval happens at a time sequentially. It won't let you eval multiple things and return in the order they complete... for now anyway. (I'd love it if someone could point me to a minimal good shadow-cljs repo that I can prepl into through netcat!)
