Clojurians Log v2

This WSL 2 is like a game changer for Windows hum...

Way less reasons to go for a mac with it

I'm glad I can use my PC to game and code now 😄.

@didibus Are you using REBL?

I have it, think I'm still a patreon, but my old laptop which I used to use for coding would run it super slowly (since I only had 4gig of ram). But now with my PC, I should give it another go

I'm running GUI emacs inside WSL2 with one of the X11 solutions. So I'm guessing REBL would work similarly?

I'm using X410 which I bought for 9.99$. Works great, so happy with the purchase

Yeah, REBL works well with X11 on WSL. And it's totally free now. They're no longer charging for the Patreon.

They've bundled it with Datomic dev-local. So as far as I'm concerned, I now get a free version of Datomic with each new release of REBL 🙂 🙂

My current Windows laptop is very underpowered -- a 2012 Dell XPS 12" -- but my shiny new Surface Laptop 3 should arrive on Thursday and I'll be doing a lot more Windows-based Clojure on that. I use Atom with Chlorine on Windows, connecting to a Socket REPL, running in REBL on WSL, via Xlaunch (free X Server).

Oh wow, I had a Dell XPS 2011

How'd you get REBL to run 😛

I couldn't even run Chrome I'd run out of RAM

had to use firefox

The XPS 12 has 8GB RAM and an i7 so it's slow but still sort of capable.

It does take a while for REBL to amble into life...

Oh no, mine was 2012 XPS 13, but it has 4gb RAM, that was the issue

and i5 I think

2 core

Aye, 4 GB won't get you very far with the JVM...

nope lol

alright, off to bed, gn

REBL is the only thing I haven't been able to get working with WSL on the Pro X

This the guide I used for Emacs, but if you ignore the emacs parts, it should get any gui app to work as well: https://utf9k.net/blog/emacs-wsl2-install/

I can run Firefox and the openSuse software manager gui for example without issue

thanks, my problem is very much of the stop hitting yourself variety, trying to run REBL from WSL2 on Windows on ARM64

I have REBL working in WSL2 on my Win10/Intel laptop, but haven't been able to get a working JavaFX implementation for linux aarch64

Hum, ya arch64 I can't speak for haha

I'm still pretty new to Clojure and hadn't used REBL much before I started using the Pro X, so mostly I don't even know what I'm missing
