clojure-lsp is recommended for both iced and conjure. its pupose is to provide static analysis , autocomplete, refactoring etc. iced and conjure are for the REPL style dev.

conjure vs iced is based on taste i think. can try both of them out, can decide which suits you better. conjure supports more lisps than just clojure, iced is more clojure focused. both support (neo)vim.

ah! so clojure-lsp works underneath, while the other two are more about repl. That clears up a lot of confusion.

hmm. no. it seems conjure/iced works alongside clojure-lsp

rather clojure-lsp is to be run beside both

where clojure-lsp is centered around the editing experience, while either of the latter two focus on repl experience. correct?

lsp is quite different implemented, can check on #lsp for more info. main idea is it analyses your code and deps statically i.e. not spinning up a JVM and eval-ing code. REPL clients need eval hence dynamic analysis

if youve used something like IntelliJ, lsp is equivalent to the intellisense that it has

yep. In fact, I have used Cursive, which gave me an impression that I will need only one of these tools to get the static analysis as well as the repl integration support. I see the difference now.

iced repl is very cool, it’s a “full” environment that’s meant to give you a lot of features and functionality, but that means it also locks you into its way of handling things

conjure is much less complex and has fewer defaults/keybinds/etc. iced has stuff like “macroexpand under cursor”, conjure leaves that up to the user to write a comment form and then write the (macroexpand '(macro-to-expand …)) to expand the macro

@UEENNMX0T I did not like the conjure's 'pop-up way', at least the one flaunted in their intro video. I would rather have an REPL running in a vim frame. Is that possible?

hmm i think so! i only recently started using it cuz i found a neovim gui i like (VimR for osx), but i haven’t read through most of the docs so I don’t know

@UL6NS3E7P Yes, you can disable the pop-up HUD: :help g:conjure#log#hud#enabled

@UEENNMX0T It's easy enough to extend Conjure with macroexpand https://github.com/walterl/conjure-macroexpand

that’s excellent

It's no coc-clojure 🙌

@UJY23QLS1 have you considered opening a PR for Conjure to bring your code directly into the project?

@UL6NS3E7P Avid conjure user here. I tend to use the pop-up window less, and a vertical split more with <leader>lv. The real magic of conjure, to me, is having a log of your work, and being able to jump into the log split-window and explore it as text -- I'll yank text objects (data) or search large data structures, etc.

I wonder if iced can do this too.

@UL6NS3E7P I've never used vim-iced, so I am admittedly biased. I would be curious to know if it supports this kind of workflow as well!

Give the page a read! It’s not super long. It supports capturing stdio and putting that in a buffer, running tests and prettying results, executing and loading code with a command

@U09QBCNBY this video gives a glimpse https://www.reddit.com/link/lqmp53/video/7zf3hknu99j61/player

@UEENNMX0T yep. something for the weekend.

I say all this as someone who just moved from iced to conjure lol. Vim iced is very good and I liked it a lot, just decided to give conjure a try when I moved to neovim and have found it less bulky than iced

How about like this?

let g:iced#palette = {
      \ 'Restart Server': ':call iced#nrepl#eval#code("(sheluchin.server/restart)", {"session": "clj"})',
      \ }

@UBL24PLE6 Many thanks. Is there a way to modify those palette commands without restarting vim and the iced repl?

For temporal, you can execute :let g:iced#palette = {...} command But for permanent, you must modify setting file and restart vim (repl does not need to restart)

Got it. Thanks 🙂
