converting an xml database backup to insert statements

2013-02-28 Thread Peter Buckley
Preamble: I've read some about xml and clojure, and done some mostly trivial things (reading and writing values from and to xml). Most of the examples I've seen of parse, zip, etc are very elegant and do a great job at reading a specific x-path-like value or series of values. But I'm stuck trying

1. install Leiningen and learn the basics 2. get everyone an editing environment, with the option of using either Emacs, IntelliJ, or Eclipse I would have people do this in advance, or provide a canned environment that has a better chance of "just working". There's decent odds that these two steps

Re: emacs error: Package `clojure-mode' is not available for installation

I had various issues with clojure-mode, swank, slime, etc. with emacs 23 until I switched to emacs 24. Emacs 24 is much simpler to download now (don't have to compile from source) and is likely the quickest solution to all your clojure/emacs issues. -Original Message- From: Menelaos Pe

Having [clojure] in front of the subject obscures the subject with redundant information. It's wasting valuable space at the front of the subject line that could be used for, well, the subject, which I'm actually interested in. The mail is already from clojure@googlegroups, to clojure@googlegrou

Re: Classpath set by lein swank or clojure-jack-in

2012-06-15 Thread Peter Buckley
Probably over-cautious because of my ignorance, but I don't know if I would name the project "swank-test" as I haven't paid too close attention to what seems a slightly confusing rule about "dashes in namespaces and underscores in filenames" - also swank-test might be some sort of existing names

Re: Classpath set by lein swank or clojure-jack-in

2012-06-15 Thread Peter Buckley
Once I got lein swank and slime-connect working in emacs, I essentially stopped using the repl directly. The real magic and beauty of writing clojure in emacs is that I can write a fn, then C-x C-e to evaluate it right there in the file. I can evaluate inner forms, test every line of the file to

my first attempt at a macro returns form wrapped in clojure.core/fn

TL;DR I have an extra clojure.core/fn wrapped around the form I want returned from my macro. This is my first macro and I'm not sure what's wrong, even though the macro "works." I'm trying my first attempt at a macro by trying to save myself from having to type "sql/with-connection db" for every t

In emacs you can give a number to preface many commands, e.g. C-37 C-n will perform "next line" 37 times, and C-37 C-p will perform "previous line" 37 times. You can setup keybindings for these as well, but I find the basic navigation commands like C-v/M-v (up/down a page) and C-l (center curren
