CIDER’s Orchard
Orchard?
None
noun 1. a piece of enclosed land planted with fruit
trees. an apple orchard 2. (in the context of Clojure) a fertile ground for Clojure tooling. CIDER’s Orchard
None
Created especially for REPL- powered tooling
Extremely flexible
Transports •bencode (default) •tty (built-in) •http(s) (via Drawbridge) •transit (via
Fastlane) •EDN (coming in nREPL 0.7)
Extendable
Piggieback (ClojureScript Support)
shadow-cljs (ClojureScript Support)
cider-nrepl
None
Common functionality for interactive programming environments
Thin wrapper around (many) nREPL-agnostic libraries
Fundamental Tooling Approaches •REPL-driven (runtime state inspection) •Static analysis based
(parses and analyses the code)
unrepl prepl nREPL
orchard (swiss army knife)
compliment (code completion)
cljs-tooling (too hard to explain)
thunknyc/profile (self-explanatory)
fipp & puget (pretty printing)
•cljfmt •tools.namespace •tools.trace •tools.reader
REPL-powered tooling runs alongside your application code
Mr. Anderson (dependency inlining)
There’s a lot going on here!
And we haven’t mentioned a single Emacs library…
But wait, there’s more!

Calva (VS Code)
Calva -> Calvados
None
Calvados is distilled from cider.
Calva is distilled from CIDER.
vim-fireplace
vim-iced
acid.vim
CCW (Eclipse)
Proto REPL (Atom)
Non-nREPL tools
Chlorine (Atom, prepl)
Conjure (vim, prepl)
vimpire (vim, unrepl)
Cursive (IntelliJ, static analysis)
clojure-lsp (cross-editor, static analysis)
•cider-nrepl -> orchard-nrepl •cljs-tooling -> orchard-cljs
Naming is hard!
cljs-tooling compliment orchard

Language Server Protocol
None
LSP or nREPL?
•You can run them side by side •You can implement
LSP in terms of nREPL •You can proxy nREPL requests to an LSP server •You can implement LSP in terms of the same underlying libraries*
None

The Challenges
25% 5% 70% Yes Maybe I already have Notepad No
Do you want great Clojure development tools?
69% 25% 5% 1% Yes Maybe I already have Notepad
No Are you willing to work on Clojure development tools?
Few maintainers, many libraries

Funding
None
2013-2017 (estimated) •$5000 in donations •~3000 hours of work on
the projects
Definition of Work •Writing code •Reviewing code •Discussing ideas •Educating
myself so I can write/review code and discuss ideas •Supporting end users via Slack, email, etc •Collaborating with other tool authors
2018 •$4000 (OpenCollective) •$5400 (Clojurists Together)
2019 (projected) •$18,000 (OpenCollective) •$9,000 (Clojurists Together)
2,250/month
Little support from Clojure companies
Development tools are a high leverage investment
