ipython-clojure

A IPython kernel written in Clojure, this will let you run Clojure code from the IPython console and notebook

using it

1. run make
2. make a new profile with ipython profile create clojure
3. add these lines to your ipython_config.py located in .ipython/profile_clojure/ipython_config.py

# Set the kernel command.
c = get_config()
# replace $(IPYTHON_CLOJURE_ROOT) with the actual path on your disk
c.KernelManager.kernel_cmd = ["${IPYTHON_CLOJURE_ROOT}/bin/ipython-clojure",
                            "{connection_file}"] 

# Disable authentication.
c.Session.key = b''
c.Session.keyfile = b''

4. If you want to be able to use notebooks, do the following as well:

(1) Run mkdir -p ~/.ipython/kernels/clojure

(2) Make a new file named 'kernel.json' under ~/.ipython/kernels/clojure, and add the following lines:

{
  "argv": ["${IPYTHON_CLOJURE_ROOT}/bin/ipython-clojure", "{connection_file}"],
  "display_name": "Clojure",
  "language": "clojure"
}

(3) Edit ~/.ipython/profile_clojure/static/custom/custom.js and add the following lines:

define([
  'base/js/namespace',
  'base/js/events'
  ],
  function(IPython, events) {
      events.on("app_initialized.NotebookApp",
          function () {
              IPython.Cell.options_default.cm_config.indentUnit = 2;
          }
      );
  }
);

5. run the repl with ipython console --profile clojure

or run the notebook with ipython notebook --profile clojure

status

Currently supports code execution and auto-complete. More implementations of the iPython messaging protocols to come.
