Any progress on this?
I apologize for not responding sooner. I've sort of abandoned this idea after all. Both Gorilla REPL and LightTable seem like better ways to address this use case. I'm taking a wait-and-see stance for now.
Hi There,
I'm not sure if this is the best way to go about it, but I thought I'd drop a note here as encouragement to keep working on this. I recently started using ipython at work and really enjoy the nice integration with matplotlib. I could see this as a nice alternative, coupled with Incanter. A text + graphics log inside a webpage has a spot in the Clojure world to help document processes. So, copying the basic ipython GUI (inline graphics, moving cells around, etc.) would be nice.
The main point of this bug is to say that I also thought this interface might be an option for the Overtone project, too. That project often has step-by-step examples that might work in this html page format. For beginners, one stumbling block is often "which editor to use?" and this would provide a fast path past that. It could also be interesting for a lightweight way to show off a quick example.
But, when I tried
(use 'overtone.live)
after adding[overtone "0.8.1"]
, I got complaints about IllegalMonitorStateExceptions. Apparently, your code doesn't tolerate long running background threads? Could this be made to work?
