Phil, Indeed, clj-backtrace was largely inspired by Rubinius' "Awsome Backtrace" feature.
I've implemented and pushed to GitHub an experimental implementation of colorized backtraces for the REPL: In addition to the usual (pst) to pretty-print the last exception, you can now (pst+) to colorized-pretty-print it. The current color scheme: (defn elem-color "Returns a symbol identifying the color appropriate for the given trace elem. :green All Java elems :magenta Any fn in the user or repl* namespaces (i.e. entered at REPL) :blue Any fn in clojure.* (e.g. clojure.core, clojure.contrib.*) :default Anything else - i.e. Clojure libraries and app code." [elem] (cond (:java elem) :green (or (nil? (:ns elem)) (re-match? #"^(user|repl)" (:ns elem))) :magenta (re-match? #"^clojure\." (:ns elem)) :blue :else :default)) On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 7:17 PM, Phil Hagelberg <p...@hagelb.org> wrote: > > Mark McGranaghan <mmcgr...@gmail.com> writes: > >> I'd also be happy to answer any questions you have about using the >> library and to hear any general comments. > > This looks great!
