@kotarak masochist, 😁

Ah. My work laptop is Windows with no python installed. And company IT won't allow it. So python means for me "no completion". It's a matter of customer orientation.

cgrand 2018-02-27T07:48:14.000045Z

You mean: the completion plugin of choice requires python?

cgrand 2018-02-27T07:48:56.000088Z

You have a JVM, an unrepl to it, a sideloader, let’s send Jython:-)

dominicm 2018-02-27T07:59:59.000306Z

@kotarak that explains a lot 😛

2018-02-27T08:00:40.000370Z

AFAIU the implementations fork off a python thread for communication. That could also be used w/o python, I hope. Have to investigate.

dominicm 2018-02-27T08:02:40.000213Z

There's a mountain of hacks beneath it all. It would be cool to see a pure vimscript implementation of this. NCM offered a vimscript API, but not a implementation

2018-02-27T08:57:27.000463Z

Asyncomplete.vim..... the plot thickens.

cgrand 2018-02-27T08:58:42.000079Z

thickens? It looks more like a good news, no?

cgrand 2018-02-27T08:58:57.000228Z

> This repository is fork of https://github.com/roxma/nvim-complete-manager in pure vim script with python dependency removed.

dominicm 2018-02-27T09:03:21.000256Z

Oh neat, asyncomplete added neovim support, seems to have matured a lot since I last saw it. I need to add support for it I guess!

dominicm 2018-02-27T09:04:24.000291Z

Interestingly, it supports preview, which NCM does not. And that's been bothering me quite a bit.

2018-02-27T09:09:14.000455Z

@cgrand oh. I always thought of "the plot thickens" as "becomes more interesting".

cgrand 2018-02-27T09:25:56.000522Z

@kotarak to me “more complex, its resolution becomes less clear”

Oh. Ok. The pitfalls of non-native speaker's assumptions.

2018-02-27T09:28:49.000059Z

Maybe "things pick up speed"?

tianshu 2018-02-27T17:41:29.000536Z

does unrepl support clojurescript?

pesterhazy 2018-02-27T17:56:24.000398Z

@doglooksgood not at this point. There are some experiments but nothing easy to use yet AFAIK

cgrand 2018-02-27T17:58:25.000286Z

@doglooksgood it depends which cljs. For self-host all that is lacking is someone willing to help.

richiardiandrea 2018-02-27T18:08:01.000055Z

I reviewed this PR and it looks good to me, however I don't feel I can just merge it myself without Antonio checking it

dominicm 2018-02-27T19:58:34.000469Z

@cgrand I'm curious, why do all your message reply to thread & send to channel? Do you do it manually? Or use an alternative client?

cgrand 2018-02-27T20:03:00.000385Z

@dominicm I like to spam :-) when I think that the reply is of interest outside the thread I check the box.

dominicm 2018-02-27T20:04:01.000183Z

@cgrand you're clearly more patient than me. I find the slack UI difficult, because I have to move from the keyboard to the tickbox using a mouse (like, a physical one). I tend to rush replies and forget to tick boxes and such.

cgrand 2018-02-27T20:23:24.000625Z

The thing is that the tick box is right above the keyboard on mobile.

dominicm 2018-02-27T21:55:17.000528Z

Yeah, I'm better on mobile. I still tend to forget. This is probably betraying my hasty mentality.

dominicm 2018-02-27T22:13:03.000263Z

That is difficult to word in english I think.
