Re: Closure lang for newbies in 2019

2019-03-09 Thread Rick Mangi
Clojure is only a few years older than Elixr.

I'd recommend https://www.braveclojure.com/ as a great online book/tutorial
as a starting point.

Enjoy!

Re: New developments in beginner-friendly editing/repl environments?

2018-08-27 Thread Rick Mangi
Yeah, I actually just create projects with lein. If you right click on a
project.clj you can just fire up a repl via lein and it works really well.
There's 3 choices for parenthesis, there's again a little button on the
bottom right to switch between parinfer/paredit and off. You can customize
all of the code reformatting and you can even alias things like defnp and
other macros to evaluate correctly.

That said, a tool that supports dozens of languages isn't going to do any
of them particularly easily :)

I find intellij + cursive to be pretty darn easy to use, and the repl has
an option to turn off parinfer. That said, I'm not a beginner. The only
drawback that I can think of other than price is that the clojure
functionality is mostly put under a single menu and it's sometimes awkward
to navigate to subcommands.

Re: Bazel as Clojure build tool

2018-06-11 Thread Rick Mangi
Next time you have to write unit tests for java, give groovy a try. It has
a lot of features that make this easy, 1 line map construction, overriding
of private methods, super easy to make mocks. There's definitely some weird
syntax, and it's slow, but I'm fine using it for glue or scripting.
