I no longer use cider-jack-in. Instead, I start the REPL on the command line and use cider-connect, which has significantly improved my REPL uptime. If my Emacs crashes, my REPL remains active. #cider #emacs #clojure

It turns out that using var-quoting with reagent (React) components isn't such a good idea.

Var-quoting makes the component function not `identical?` to itself, which causes unnecessary remounts.

(defn foo-component [,,,])

(identical? foo-component foo-component) #=> true

(identical? #'foo-component #'foo-component) #=> false (<-- react will remount)

#clojure #clojurescript #reagent #react

Hey #clojure people, what are the parts in Clojure that you find #repl unfriendly?

"derived vars" is the number one thing that comes to my mind.

But what else comes to your mind? How do you work around them?

Shout out to lein-tools-deps (https://github.com/RickMoynihan/lein-tools-deps). It was a huge help when we migrated from leiningen to deps. After taking it to use, we were able to migrate everyting to deps/clojure cli incrementally, piece by piece. Great project! #clojure
