AFAIK the remoteapi proxies calls to your app through a concrete wire protocol, I think it’s actually protobuffs.
So it comes in behind the web.
So this would explain “no talking to servlets” issue.
It’s never been an issue for me. I use the remote API to explore other APIs especially inspect what’ going on in datastore.
@mobileink @nickbauman : any chance either of you will ever do a screencast ? I don't care what, as long as it's using clojure - I'm just curious what your dev setup is like
Great idea!
I learned alot from watching http://www.parens-of-the-dead.com/ -- and hope to learn more from watchin from experts here.
i was just thinking about doing a blog post on boot task development. a screencast would be nice. matter of finding the time, alas.
But for starters, the main tools I for clojure: 1) Emacs. This is a biggie. For some it’s a very steep hill to climb, but I argue it’s worth it. 2) Counter-Clockwise. I mostly use this for step-debugging because it has a nice visual debugger which is sometimes necessary. 3) Test driven development. I don’t consider anything “working” without some kind of test exercising it locally.
My setup: OS X, iterm2, emacs, yasnippet, boot, the usual clojure stuff like test, logging...
neither of you use cider?
maybe you have more to learn from me than I hvae to learn from you 🙂
ah, i do use cider, when I have an nrepl to talk to. not so much with gae and aws.
oh man, how do you code without nrepl and cider?
lots of alt-tab! 😄
Anyone tried proto-repl? give it a shot. It’s pretty awesome. I’ve seen at least 1 die hard emacs fan convert for clojure dev.
@domparry: make a screen cast! 🙂
There is one already. Lemmie dig it out.
ha, watchin gthat right now
is protorepl written in clojurescript ?
I’m not sure. It runs on Atom.
@10:40
parts of it are written in cljs
where it ` protorepl
oh man
the "save" feature for debugging is amazing
yeah. So many cool things.
unfortunately I just spent 3 dayslearning org mode
so I'm unable to switch
