IDE support?

[The Alchemist]

I'm a huge user of IntelliJ, and I feel like IDE autocomplete is one of the main, if only, reasons I kinda miss typing.

Would it be difficult to write an IntelliJ plugin (or Calva add-on) to do this?  I think it would add immense value to users of typedclojure, malli, etc.

Thank you!

Depends on the use-case. One of the challenges is that infix notation (like Java method chaining) is much more amenable to autocomplete than prefix notation (sexps).

What contexts are you hoping for autocompletion?

I agree you on the in-fix notation vs sexps bit.  

From a developer experience perspective, I feel like keyword assistance during map/associative destructuring and thread-last ops would be the most helpful as a base case.  (More difficult situations like lists of maps I'm leaving aside for now.)

e.g., using the example from the Clojure docs:

(def multiplayer-game-state {:joe {:class "Ranger" :weapon "Longbow" :score 100} :jane {:class "Knight" :weapon "Greatsword" :score 140} :ryan {:class "Wizard" :weapon "Mystic Staff" :score 150}}) (let [{{:keys [class weapon]} :joe} multiplayer-game-state]

(let [joe-weapon (->> multiplayer-game-state :joe :weapon]

This is pure Clojure, but I'm posting here because I think Typed Clojure, malli, etc. could improve this situation.

In Python, for example, I don't use the newish type declarations, but something it after I've written the function just to get some autocomplete.  (Is it "".ends_with?, .endswith?, ends_with), especially because I bounce around between Python, Ruby, and Clojure and I just can't remember, heh.
