Can not evaluate

[Joakim Tengstrand]

Hi,

I can evaluate expressions by pressing <cmd>+<enter>, for example:

(+ 1 2)

...will show the result 3.

But when I try to evaluate:

*1

...then nil is shown.

it's the same with these values/expressions:

123

`(do something)

...I need to write:

(eval 123)

(macroexpand-1 `(do something))

Am I doing something wrong?

I'm using Light Table 0.8.1, binary version: 0.34.5

Regards,

Joakim

I also get nil for *1.  What result were you expecting?

For the others, I get:

(eval 123)

123

(macroexpand-1 `(do something))

(do my-first-pipeline/something)

But I don't know what you hoped would happen.

Hi Joakim,

You're not doing anything wrong. The Clojure plugin just doesn't bother to print the value of simple or primitive expressions.

Here's an existing issue on GitHub for this:
