RSVP: [Joyride VS Code using a Clojure REPL (by Peter Strömberg and Michiel Borkent), Tue, Nov 29, 2022, 6:30 PM | Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/London-Clojurians/events/286030325/)

Peter Strömberg ([PEZ (Peter Strömberg) · GitHub](https://github.com/PEZ)) and Michiel Borkent ([borkdude (Michiel Borkent) · GitHub](https://github.com/borkdude)) will be presenting:  
“Joyride VS Code using a Clojure REPL”

What if you could script and control VS Code with a REPL, like you can  
do with Emacs? What if it is a Clojure REPL? Leveraging SCI, this is  
what Joyride ([GitHub - BetterThanTomorrow/joyride: Making VS Code Hackable like Emacs since 2022 · GitHub](https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/joyride)) lets you  
do. We’ll take a look at what possibilities this opens, what the  
limitations are, and what people have done with Joyride so far, four  
months since the first release.

Peter is a former product manager turned developer by Clojure. He uses  
VS Code, and lacked a lot of the awesome Clojure support that Emacs  
users enjoy through CIDER. He decided to try to bring some of that to  
his editor of choice, resulting in Calva. Peter also feels strongly  
for the Clojure Getting Started experience and is always thinking  
about ways to contribute to improving it.

Michiel Borkent doesn’t really need introductions in our community. He  
is the main author of clj-kondo, babashka, jet and so many other  
Clojure tools. He can be found as @borkdude in various places on the  
web.

Looking forward to this! Here’s hoping we will have many Joyride battle stories to tell about.

\*\*\* NEW DATE \*\*\*

Hi all,

Unfortunately, we had to postpone this talk to November as Peter (the speaker) has work commitments which clash with the presentation.
