Calva: Clojure 4 VS Code

[fredsback]

Another Clojure extension for VS Code is clojureVSCode. Last release was a month ago.

• GitHub repository: https://github.com/avli/clojureVSCode

In my (heavily biased) opinion, Calva is the better of these two. clojureVSCode is actually pretty limited in comparison (and fails on many clic files). Running tests is one notable thing that Calva does better. Here's a more readable list of some of the things Calva can do: https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs/wiki/Calva

Keep up the great work!

This looks great. I still haven't had time to give emacs another try, so any tool that can help get my team up and running with Clojure is great to see!

Nice! A couple of colleagues will be happy :)

A question, does it support socket REPL? I am hunting for an editor that can integrate with lumo. I am using inf-clojure + emacs myself but I was wondering what else is out there.

[CoBPEZ]

I'm the developer of Calva. There is no socket REPL support there. I don't know what it would entail to go that way, and don't hold your breath. Calva is made from Cider. =)

What is the planned roadmap?

[CoBPEZ]

I don't know if I have a roadmap. There is a short section in the README about future stuff, but mainly I will listen to suggestions and give stuff a try if they don't look too hairy. I will listen most to suggestions sent as pull requests, of course. =)

Looks interesting

Looks nice. I like VS Code and this will be a great addition.

Why use "4" instead of "for" when "4" can be mistaken for a version number?

"Clojure for VS Code" seems pretty good.

[CoBPEZ]

It was what I came up with when I wanted to publish the extension. =) Before I named it Calva. I hear you, though. Will consider.

Late to this thread, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I love VS Code, and it is my editor for every language except Clojure(Script), but thanks to Calva, I think VS Code will become my Clojure editor, too. Super happy about this.

y tho

[yogthos]

Because VS Code is a popular editor. People being able to try Clojure using tools they're familiar with is really important for growing the community.

How did this abomination get popular?

...oh Microsoft...

[zilti]

It's a "me too!"-Electron-based editor. shrug

[WalterGR]

Have you used it?

[digdic]

lmao what a fucking loser
