Emacs: introduction to Clojure (CIDER and clojure-mode)

[raretapes]

I'm imagining a Clojure course from you... Thank you for this video, Prot. An employer will be lucky to have you.

Hey Prot, do consider popping by the Clojurian Slack from time to time :) the community is very friendly and helpful

[JacobMoen]

I find myself learning Clojure, unexpectedly 😁
I see you are embracing the "to learn something better, teach it" philosophy! Looking forward to follow your Clojure journey.

[sepisoad]

thanks Prot for the video, it would be nice to see your cider/clojure setup as well in a separate video, keep up the good work, I'm pretty sure that you'll get a decent job while creating these videos. I'll make sure to share this video on different social medias

[meathead]

Hopefully in a year or so, you could look back and make a video "My journey learning Clojure" with lessons learned from your projects and advice to beginners.

Great video Prot, hope to see more on Clojure soon!

Prot, for the doc string you put the arg names inside two backticks instead of capitilazing. Tools will colorize this. Also you can put [[fully-qualified-symbol]] and tools will make this clickable as jump to symbol. Very happy you are getting into Clojure. My path is similar, learning the power of lisp throught emacs and seeking a production lisp (Clojure solves this need).

interested in seeing how you get on with clojure and finding a job, i dont think anybody who has seen your emacs videos would hesitate to employ you, all the best

In fact, many Clojure programmers never switch over to that REPL input view at all.

We like to use so-called Rich comment blocks, i.e. we keep our little selection of test expressions inside a (comment) form and evaluate it inline like all the other code in the namespace.

One cool thing to note is that Clojure implemented Common Lisp's format function (as clojure.pprint/cl-format). It will handle nil properly unlike Clojure's default format from Java.
cl-format is the most powerful formatting function out there it can destructure collections and do conditionals among some really cool esoteric things like making tables, printing numbers as English or Roman Numerals and other fun party tricks.

I'm following a philosophy of "I learn what Prot learns, don't stop me, and feed me more."

Hi Prot, awesome video. I was wondering if you have continued your Clojure journey or currently focusing on ELisp and maintenance of emacs packages?

[lucasgruss]

Thank you for this video Prot and best of luck in learning clojure ! :)
I noticed that you are using evil-mode, is there any particular reason ?

[yusefaslam]

Hi Prot, great video, I was wondering about what keyboard you use, do you use a mechanical keyboard, or a non-mechanical one? Thanks. And do you believe Clojure is better than EmacsLisp or worse?

[minasmazar]

Hello Prot!! I've noticed you started using the evil-mode 😁I didn't notice before. Is there a particular reason for that? I could understand if you were coming from the vim ecosystem, but if I guess you started with vanilla Emacs. Why switching to the vim mode? Do you know god-mode? Good luck for your upcoming learnings in the Clojure world! 🤗

Hey Prot, (not that I'm against clojure or anything, actually I'm learning clojure too), but if it's for job, why not learn something like python, which is one of the most in demand language.
