Hi Ewen, FWIW, the REPL special functions are mainly for their side effects.
Perhaps an argument could be made to have things (like `in-ns`) behave more like the plain Clojure REPL. But even in that case the return value seems to be specific to the JVM implementation: user=> (in-ns 'foo.bar) #object[clojure.lang.Namespace 0x41488b16 "foo.bar"] - Mike > On Jul 10, 2015, at 3:30 PM, ewen <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > What is the reason for special fns to always print nil instead of printing > their result > (https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/blob/master/src/main/clojure/cljs/repl.cljc#L824)? > > I'm asking because I'm building tooling around clojurescript and I would like > to be able to catch special fns result. > > Thanks, > Ewen. > > -- > Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your > first post. > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "ClojureScript" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/clojurescript. -- Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your first post. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ClojureScript" group.
