Can you give some examples of what you have in mind? I find this very intriguing but I can't think of anything it could do that would be impossible with hot reloading code.
- JamesLeonis 10y ago1. Cloud based development/debugging. One of the harder issues when I'm building microservices is stringing each service and dependency together and debugging. With this I could put together a full staging environment and log into each service to monitor and tweak problems I've found. 2. Limited hardware or access. This is important because it's talking with Java Clojure not Clojurescript. Because it's entirely browser based, I could spin up an EC2 instance and load the editor on my phone. I can't do that with a regular Clojure environment in my phone.
- qwertyuiop924 10y ago...But can't you do that already with CIDR? (or SLIME/Geiser, for some of the other lisps). IIRC, it does support connecting to a remote REPL like this.
- BWStearns 10y agoI don't think it gives you a whole lot over emacs with figwheel set up but it does seem to minimize the barrier to entry (ie emacs no longer soft mandatory). I think if it grows a sublimetext style command pallet and shortcut arsenal it could very well be the default new-to-clojure experience. It could fill the role in the clojure ecosystem that Haskell for Mac does in haskell's ecosystem.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoYeah. Well, I was thinking CIDER/SLIME/Geiser (they all provide similar services for their environments), but same idea.
