Super cool! I've been planning integrating https://runops.io/ to VSCode for a while and most of the delay is related to having to write Javascript. I like your wrapping of the VSCode js API. I'll use as inspiration for creating the Runops extension using cljs in the near future. Super exciting that I can do something like this for VS code now: https://andrios.co/articles/spacemacs-cheatsheet/#elisp-func...

long time emacs user, I've tried vscode a few times. I will not go back to try it again until it has emacs-style undo tree https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/20889 . Emacs bindings are no good if they do completely different things.

Didn't know this was a thing, my whole life is a lie!

As the co-creator here I'd like to add that Joyride is taking the very first baby steps here. We hope a lot of people want to try it and provide feedback to inform our next steps. NB: The video has a target audience of people who know Clojure and its strengths. Especially how the REPL is used. I hope HN will see beyond the parens. =) It should make some sense anyway. Especially if you have some Emacs scripting experi…

Fantastic work on the extension. In terms of ideas for next steps, my suggestion would be to consider automating the process of creating and invoking cljs files. One big use I can see for this is creating ad hoc scripts to do stuff in the editor. If you could pop up an editor via some shortcut that would allow you to create a script and bind it to a shortcut, that would make using Joyride really seamless.

Thanks! Please consider filing your suggestion as an idea on the Joyride discussions section: https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/joyride/discussions
