Is this plug-in still developed?

For now, we suspended development (compatible versions will be uploaded as usual, nothing new will be available here, except pull requests). Not sure what will be in future.

Hi Alexander,

There's a lot of hype and a lot of twitter, but is it any good? I see that it is based on La Clojure https://twitter.com/CursiveClojure/status/387500673979269120 but it is intended to be a commercial product.  Have they offered you anything?

I haven't done much Clojure coding yet, but La Clojure is my preferred dev environment.

Hi Peter,

I'm the main developer of Cursive. It is indeed based on an old fork of La Clojure but the codebases have diverged significantly since the fork - in particular Cursive is mostly written in Clojure now. We did consult JetBrains before deciding to make Cursive a commercial product.

Cheers,
Colin

Thanks Colin.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the word "commercial" does not seem to appear on your website. (It appears frequently enough in the twitter feed.) The question that naturally arises is, "Will it be available for the 13CE ff on the same terms as la clojure and leiningen plugins?"

You're right that the website doesn't say that it will be a commercial product. I'll clarify that on the landing page. The plan is to make it available at a similar price point to PyCharm or RubyMine.

Alexander, when you say "we," are you talking about JetBrains?  Is La Clojure a JetBrains-sponsored project?

Colin's answers to my question, below, indicate that JB has decided to move Ls Clojure into a new commercial spin-off in the manner of PyCharm or RubyMine. I applaud the commercialisation of Clojure, but as I have been doing no commercial Clojure development, I can't justify to my family CFO any spending on IDE support. So it looks as though I'll have to find some other, less satisfactory, development environment for my Clojure tinkering.

Thanks for all the work on La Clojure.

A couple of points: one is that JetBrains aren't spinning this off into a commercial product, I'm doing that independently (although in consultation with JetBrains).

Also, I can't speak for JetBrains but my understanding is (Alexander can correct me if I'm wrong here) that JetBrains are planning to leave La Clojure public and probably accept pull requests, but not actively develop it past that. If La Clojure is currently sufficient for your needs it should continue to be.

I'm also considering the possibility of a free non-commercial licence for Cursive to allow tinkering and open source work, although I haven't thought that through properly yet. No promises but definitely a possibility.

Yes, "we" is JetBrains.
La Clojure is planning to be updated for all new IDEA versions, including IntelliJ IDEA 13 CE, probably with some small bugfixes (pull requests?).

Best regards,
Alexander Podkhalyuzin.

Hi Colin,

I just found your post after starting this thread asking about ClojureScript support for WebStorm. I went to https://cursiveclojure.com/ but didn't find any mention there of ClojureScript or WebStorm, just Clojure and IntelliJ. Just wondering if there were any plans for Cursive to support ClojureScript inside WebStorm, or what Cursive's ClojureScript support story is otherwise.

Thanks for any info you can provide :)

P.S. I would have searched the Cursive maliing list archives (and then asked there if I didn't find anything), but https://cursiveclojure.com/mailinglist.html says the archives are still coming soon.

Hi,

La Clojure doesn't provide any ClojureScript support. I'm actually working on that for the next build of Cursive, it's nearly done so it should be out in a week or so. It supports CLJS, Google Closure resolution and completion and CLJX. It won't work in WebStorm unfortunately, since WebStorm doesn't provide the Java support that Cursive requires. Currently the CLJS support is fairly tied to the Clojure support which is Java-based. I may look at splitting that out later, but it won't be for a while.

Thanks for the update, Colin. Great Cursive will be gaining ClojureScript support soon, and too bad it won't work in WebStorm. Consider this an enthusiastic vote for WebStorm support :)
