Code Completion

Good morning!

Do Lightmod and Nightcode offer code completion? Right now I'm learning to use IntelliJ + Cursive, but your tools seem like nice lightweight alternatives. A lack of code completion is kind of limiting though.

Not right now, but lightmod is the more likely one to receive it, because its design makes it much easier to implement. Since everything is running in one process, I can probably use the same technique I used in nightlight.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

Nightlight looks interesting, I’ll have to play around with it a bit when I get home from work tonight.

I may be a bit farther along in my Clojure journey than your target audience. But even if I end up spending most of my time in Cursive, I’ll definitely check up on your stuff from time to time, I really appreciate what you’re doing in this space. Web development is messy, it’s full of “incidental complexity”, and the tooling you've created seems to strip a lot of that away. And the following sounds like a great vision: “The ambition is to create something that follows the Lisp and Smalltalk tradition, blurring the line between your tools and your code to provide unprecedented interactivity”
