Clojurians Log v2

Really enjoyed listening to @mkvlr and you guys chat. Learned a lot indeed. The questions and responses around the journey into Clojure, comparisons to related technologies (elm/elixr), and getting started where especially valuable to me. As I'm very very new to the clojure{script} world and suffering from the usual "Which editor{plugin}, which build tool, which UI lib/framework, which backend lib/framework, which tdd, which repl setup" And while all that is too much to ask in one podcast, I would love to hear a 2020 "Entry to Clojure" series, where the options are presented and discussed with various experts. Of course, the emacs (cider?) subject matter expert would undoubtably be @vijaykiran. Any santa, thats what I want for Xmas 🎅

@cam.asoftware Choose the editor you're most comfortable in. If you don't care, choose Visual Studio Code with Calva (free) or Intellij + Cursive (paid).

@cam.asoftware Here's a nice overview for IntelliJ: https://adriansmith.io/clojure-setup.html

Thanks @borkdude I use VS Code now, but was worried about how well supported clojure was. I am mostly excited about being able to evaluate blocks of code in the editor itself, do you know if calva can do that?

Oh Nice!

yeah, Calva can do it. Enter #calva-dev for more info

Perfect, thanks for that info!

Ahh, ok perfect @mkvlr i'll watch that now 🙂
