question about evaluation coming from lisp/slime #362

Open Dapuva76 opened 5 years ago

Dapuva76 commented 5 years ago

I'm new to programming in general, and so far I've been coding Lisp using slime in emacs. I'm used to evaluating (slime-eval-defun) a variable like (setq a 3), and then using that variable in every function I want to write (in the same file). So not evaluate the whole buffer, but just the line or function individually.

But with alchemist, if I evaluate (alchemist-eval-current-line) a line with a definition like n = 3, and then evaluate another line referencing n, it says that the variable is not set. Is there a way to mimic slime's behaviour, where I can reference a variable if I already evaluated it?

You seem to have fixed this? There's been a renaming/reworking of functions, aka (alchemist-eval-current-line) is now (alchemist-iex-send-current-line) if I'm not wrong. Weird coincidence or maybe someone read this, thanks for the change!
