Clojure Users,
I'm relatively new to clojure and wanted to get some workflow advice.
I often find myself staring at something like this:
(defun func1 [a b c d] (func5 (let [f (func3 c)] (func2 a b f)) (let
[e 5] (func4 c d e))))
and wishing for a function to automatically and idiomatically break it
up into multiple lines and indent it:
(defun func1 [a b c d]
(func5
(let [f (func3 c)]
(func2 a b f))
(let [e 5]
(func4 c d e))))
I find the latter form more readable, but inserting the newlines by
hand is getting repetitive (also, I am not always confident in my
choice of idiomatic breakpoints). Once I insert the newlines, I can
trigger auto-indentation by hitting M-q (which on my system is mapped
to paredit-reindent-defun) or by highlighting the region and hitting
M-C-\ (which on my system is indent-region).
My question(s) is:
How are people currently handling this situation? Is it part of most
people's clojure/emacs workflow to
1) Just insert the newlines by hand? (perhaps I'm the only one finding
this repetitive)
2) Do people have some accepted pretty printing function they are
using within emacs?
3) Is there some larger issue I'm not seeing that maybe makes this
whole idea irrelevant?
I've seen this document:
http://richhickey.github.com/clojure/doc/clojure/pprint/PrettyPrinting.html
But I haven't found any guide to using that function *within emacs*.
If this is not a common thing to do, then why is it not common?
Thanks,
John
caveat: My init.el is an amalgam of ideas from ESK, prelude and emacs
live, so it could be the case that this functionality is provided out
of the box, if only I were configured properly. If people have some
way of doing this in their emacs environment, a clue as to the kit or
configuration you are using would be very much appreciated.
