Clojurians Log v2

im an elastic tabstops fan, btw. infact the very first project i've done when teaching some junior dev clojure is to use tabs in clojure code, eg: https://github.com/exicon/homepage/blob/58e24d405d1e5f8a16c01b2ec037159ad8fc27d6/src/hl/homepage/index.cljs.hl
heard from chris today about the smart mode fixes in vscode
progress has stalled due to vscode limitations not allowing synchronous edits, and text changes being broadcast asynchronously
i modeled smart mode after codemirror, which has an exceptionally good API (no surprise for anyone familiar with marijn)
might have to revisit its design to see what could be done with less information from the editor
i was pretty confident that I had whittled smart mode down to what was absolutely necessary, but after implementing elastic tabstops in ~50 lines of code and seeing the nice behavior there, I think it’s worth revisiting to make sure there isn’t some resonance between these ideas that could help integration and simplify the whole thing
It's funny you are mentioning this because when vscode was open sourced, the very first thing i did is i tried to compile it, then i tried to see how can i hook in to the rendering and the file buffer, to see if i can implement elastic tabstops. But then I got lost in the forrest of typescript classes and gave up on it...
Too bad about the vscode version of smartmode!
