Show HN: CLJS Fiddle – ClojureScript

I wanted to say thanks to the LambdaX team[1], (of replumb aka clojurescript.io fame) for lending me a hand while trying to wrangle the bootstrapped clojurescript compiler. cljs-in-cljs is actually pretty tricky!

I really like this!

This is definitely needed for the community and I'm very glad to see something like this pop up.

A few missing items for those who wish to share code on StackOverflow, for example: external stylesheets and a way to share the code you've written.

Not everyone uses Regent, so perhaps something more vanilla with ClojureScript + Hiccup, but I see how this could devolve into a rabbit hole.

Overall, a very solid start and I hope this continues.

Hello, this is a site for live-evaluating cljs forms into UIs, the way the Reagent library does.

Some ideas about next steps include adding parinfer[1], the ability to save cljsfiddles, or $YOUR_SUGGESSTION.

This is very nice for evaluation of cljs.

I know this is your own project, and adding parinfer could be useful, but I wonder if collaborating with proto-repl[0][1] to add cljs support to Atom could be something you'd be interested in.

The fiddle is very useful for sharing code snippets, but better clojurescript support in Atom would be a big benefit for me.

Here's a simple modification to get the random number between 1 and 10

    [:div
     [:p "Hit Run to get a random number:"]
     [:h1 (+ 1 (Math.floor (* 10 (rand))))]]

If you weren't previously familiar with the syntax I figured this might help.

I really want to add the ability to save/load content that can be built on. I think it would be awesome to share clever tricks!

You can use (rand-int 10)

This is fantastic. As the creator of appshare.co, another clojurescript web repl I realise that this could turn into something really great. Well done!

This is cool, IMO. My main ClojureScript experience to date has been non-web (mobile, bootstrap, etc.), but this fiddle even makes it ridiculously easy for someone like me to quickly try an idea out and just experiment.

No need to run through the ClojureScript "Quick Start"—this is just "Start". :) Bravo!

Thought I'd bump here and mention that I've added the ability to save/load code using the fiddle. Here's the announcement:

Yay!

This is great. I wish I had this when I was learning reagent.

This is great! I believe the next logical thing to implement would be handling of multiple files, but `parinfer` sounds good to.
