For Expectations, which -- notionally -- supports ClojureScript as well as Clojure, the cljs tests are run using a cljs REPL but it's bootstrapped from a Clojure REPL (on the JVM).

Both, planck runs on JS core (self hosted) so you're a bit limited, but lumo runs on Node.JS and can use node modules

a REPL is a dev environment
2017-12-18T23:14:42.000115

and you can use planck and lumo with `inf-clojure` so emacs can work with them similar to CIDER but without the huge jvm deps

Good to know! Just installed npm on my Windows 10 WSL Ubuntu bash and then installed Lumo via npm and, sure enough, I can start a Socket Server REPL and connect to it from telnet or similar... Not sure whether that helps <@Berry> (and I see Lumo advertises its cljs compilation as experimental) but it's impressive.
2017-12-19T00:49:50.000050

And it looks like Lumo's cljs compilation is a lot more solid now (just reading the mid-September blog post about it).

That's how we've always done our Java interop imports. The `(` vs `[` is just a weird Clojure convention IIRC, imports normally use `(` but requires are `[`. It's the space instead of dot that makes it work. I couldn't tell you *why* it works though

in clojure.spec, do you guys have any idea of how i could deref a value before checking it? ``` (s/fdef foo! :args (s/cat :arg1 (s/coll-of (fn [v] (instance? Bar v))))) ``` `arg1` in `foo!` is a reference value containing a collection, i'd like to `deref` it so that i can check it with `coll-of`
2017-12-19T08:06:00.000511

You could use s/and an s/conformer that calls deref

hello everyone I’m trying to generate a fat jar (leiningen) of a project which will run some jobs and die, and I have some module levels declarations with `def` that accesses the database, something like `(def sms-body (get-msg-from-db "smsInviteText"))` but when I run `lein uberjar` it tries run those commands upon compilation, is there a way to avoid that?

Although i find it’s usually best to stop passing atoms around as much as possible and instead write your function on the data inside
2017-12-19T08:29:10.000347
Sonny
clojurians
clojure
To get to@the point where all the logic that is worth testing operates on data, not state. Then you don’t need to spec the stateful functions

Make that a function, invoke it at runtime, and pass it around

The short term fix would be to wrap it in `delay` and then deref it where it’s used

oh nice, i will try that! thanks alex! by the way, it's an exercise in which i'm simulating database collections as references, so whenever i need to query the data i use this reference + core.logic. i thought it was a good idea at the time

Ahmad

I mean, you could have a function you invoke at startup that puts the result in a `def`'d atom, then just access the atom whenever you need the value, but that's a very un-Clojureish way to do it

Hello, question about `pedestal` : is it possible to have `:constraints` and `:path-params` for static routes, i.e. routes that don't have any placeholder like `:id` etc. ?

My use case is that I'd like to pre-generate all routes of my app (several millions, I think 2~5) since I know them in advance, but still be able to differentiate them in the interceptors. Some are product pages, others are listing pages. Several of them will also have query-params attached to them (like ?productid=X)

Or maybe I need to do something else once I generate the routes ? I can't find enough help in pedestal docs/tests/source as to what to pass to `expand-routes` (to be more precise, to some function that will call `expand-routes`).

Why was it deprecated? I quite like how special things use `#`
2017-12-19T13:16:47.000353
Jodie

because `^` is shorter
2017-12-19T13:19:00.000076

originally `#^` was what `^` is now
2017-12-19T13:19:08.000192
Kareen
clojurians
clojure
and `^` was reader syntax for `(meta`
2017-12-19T13:19:20.000057
Kareen
clojurians
clojure
it was later changed so that `^` is syntax for with-meta like `#^`, with `^` being the preferred syntax

(And, as for “old deprecated syntax”: some learn from older books, like those in former Colonies learning English from books from the 1880s; some of us are old enough [in Clojure] that that syntax was once our native tongue, and we have to learn your newfangled slang.)
2017-12-19T13:38:58.000219

I believe `^` has been the preferred way since 1.2, so for quite a long time :)

This has been my fallback link every time I forget how to do this <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2181774/calling-clojure-from-java> and it has "Ye Olde English" style. Perhaps an updated example on <https://clojure.org/reference/java_interop> would set things aright.

That seems different to other of clojure's design choices, especially the recent ##NaN

how?
2017-12-19T14:26:07.000180

they're completely different scenarios
2017-12-19T14:26:30.000491
Kareen

Using # for all special syntax seems consistent. Having ^ be an exception seems inconsistent.
2017-12-19T14:27:05.000119
Jodie

clojure
I'm sure you wouldn't like to write `#@` either
2017-12-19T14:27:14.000334
Kareen
clojurians
clojure
there's a number of reader macros that are not routed through the `#` dispatch
2017-12-19T14:27:30.000448
Kareen
clojurians
clojure
the reason why we went for `##NaN` and not `NaN` is that Rich didn't want to pollute the namespace of special symbols
2017-12-19T14:27:59.000611
Kareen
clojurians
clojure
but in this case `^` was already reserved as a reader macro
2017-12-19T14:28:13.000002
Kareen
clojurians
clojure
we use `#` as a dispatch macro mostly just because (good) top level symbols were running out
2017-12-19T14:29:38.000100
Kareen
clojurians
clojure
That's true, I hadn't considered @. I'd be happy to move to #@ though. I think I've grown fond of consistent syntax.
2017-12-19T14:30:16.000399
Jodie
clojurians
clojure
what about :, ` ' ; ~ etc
2017-12-19T14:30:47.000503
Kareen
clojurians
clojure
there's tonnes of top level reader macros
2017-12-19T14:30:55.000470
Kareen
clojurians
clojure
and there's absolutely no reason for them to be prefixed
2017-12-19T14:31:06.000156
Kareen
clojurians
clojure
There's much less sanctity of # than I realised when making the comment. I think I've seen comments valuing that clojure has concise syntax for many things, it makes sense in that context.
2017-12-19T14:33:38.000537
Jodie
clojurians
clojure
I still struggle to picture myself wanting #^ to be shorter.
2017-12-19T14:34:14.000627
Jodie
clojurians
clojure
you've never used `^foo` or `^:foo` then I assume? ;)
2017-12-19T14:34:38.000489
Kareen
clojurians
clojure
here's the thing, `#^` didn't become `^` *because* it was shorter, rather, we realized that `^` as a reader macro for `(meta` had virtually no use, while `with-meta` had quite a bit of use
2017-12-19T14:36:18.000457
Kareen
clojurians
clojure
so it was decided to repurpose `^` to be the more useful `with-meta`, and `#^` was kept for backwards compatibility
2017-12-19T14:36:47.000304
Kareen
clojurians
clojure
I see, that's a more interesting growth. I can't actually see a particular purpose for the old ^ symbol. I have never used those much, no. They don't seem to come up in normal use of clojure, for me. Not enough that I'd want to shave a character off. Generally speaking, outside of functions and arguments, I don't see any use of metadata in clojure code. Arguments cited usually involve losing metadata under certain cases, and being concealed.

<@Shelly> one traditional answer to this is to add `:profiles {:dev {:source-paths ["dev/"]}}`, and then put the code you want to load in `dev/user.clj` where Clojure will load it automatically for you.

About the closest you can probably get is building some sort of abstraction on top of `reducible-query` (from `clojure.java.jdbc`) because you could use `sequence` and/or `eduction` to produce sequences of rows from tables... (off the top of my head).
