What Hacker News says
10 sourcesI use Spacemacs and have the following in inside my .spacemacs in the dotspacemacs/user-config functions:
(require 'cider)
(setq cider-cljs-lein-repl
"(do
(require 'figwheel-sidecar.repl-api)
(figwheel-sidecar.repl-api/start-figwheel!)
(figwheel-sidecar.repl-api/cljs-repl))")
Then I just use figwheel to manage my cljs projects (I think this is the default now for reagent and luminus projects, it's also the default for re-natal for react native development in cljs). Life is pretty good and I have a nice debugger via Chrome.
I prefer the debugger in CIDER (which doesn't work for c

ljs) to the debugger in Chrome, but the Chrome debugger is decent (and it's what I'd have in Javascript anyway). There is a nice chrome extension to help with clojurescript eval in the browser/debugger called dirac: https://github.com/binaryage/dirac
You no doubt know this, but just in case ... Dirac completely transforms that CLJS debugging experience (in a positive way):

In The Re-Frame Guide: Front-End Architecture in ClojureI haven't gotten a chance to try it yet (would be interested in hearing from anyone who has), but there is a Chrome devtools fork called Dirac that is targeted at natively debugging clojurescript.

In Re-Frame: a Reagent Framework for Writing SPAs, in ClojureScriptSelling macOS apps at https://www.binaryage.com.
TotalFinder.app sales is what allowed me to work on my own projects full time. This is what I personally define as a success. I own 100% of my time and stuff I create.
Since introduction of macOS system integrity protection sales have been poor. But luckily I made enough in previous years so I have pretty long runway to build something new.

3 points · Open discussionI started a fork of Chrome(Blink) DevTools to enhance developer experience with ClojureScript:

Now struggling to get REPL working properly.
In Ask HN: What are you currently building?Thanks for the plug. I'm glad you find it useful.
I've been working on Dirac - a Chrome DevTools fork for ClojureScript developers. That will be a complementary tool to cljs-devtools:
