Ask HN: How to edit Clojure in vim comfortably?

1 pointbgar2 comments

I want to do more programming in Clojure, but all the current solutions for the REPL don't work well. Vim doesn't facilitate embedded REPLs and frankly I don't want to deal with nailgun + vim, or slimv.

Any ways to comfortably edit lisps without resorting to Emacs + Evil mode?

Use fireplace from tpope. All you need to do is go to your project dir and run lein repl, then when you're in vim it will automatically connect to the repl and you can do stuff like :%Eval to eval the file, or cpp to eval the expression under your cursor. See the github and :help fireplace for more.

Thanks you! I will check it out.
