Literate Programming in Emacs?

[Andrew]

For those who do Literate Programming in Emacs, what do you use? I was looking at org-babel-clojure which says:
 

You will need to install the following packages: clojure-mode, swank-clojure, slime, slime-repl

But when I list-packages, swank-clojure is not in the list... It also says I ought to be able to M-x slime ... but that results in "no such file or directory, lisp"

[Andrew]

I should add that I am starting with a working setup (able to M-x clojure-jack-in and compile and execute stuff in the REPL as expected).

[Andreas Kostler]

It should work as expected if you follow
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-clojure.html
and use the stand-alone version of swank-clojure (Section Connecting
with SLIME https://github.com/technomancy/swank-clojure).
Looking at ob-clojure.el http://kanis.fr/hg/lisp/org/ob-clojure.el
might give you some clues as well.
Hope that helps
Andreas

I have a bit of a weird setup I think. I put clojure-1.3.0.jar in ~/.clojure and set a variable for org-mode according to the advanced setup instructions. I also run org-mode from source. As a result I make sure to add org-mode's lisp/ dir to my load path.

Here's my attempt at following the steps at http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-clojure.html. The result is org-babel-execute-src-block: No org-babel-execute function for clojure

1. The recommendation was to follow "Connecting with SLIME" from https://github.com/technomancy/swank-clojure which involves M-x slime-connect, so I looked for that in http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-clojure.html ... It has a section called "Server/Set up Leiningen project.clj file" which says add a dev-dependency in my project.clj file for leiningen/lein-swank. So I picked [leiningen/lein-swank "1.2.0-SNAPSHOT"]
2. lein deps
3. lein swank
4. It said I should add swank-clojure as a dev-dependency too. So I picked [swank-clojure "1.4.0-SNAPSHOT"]
5. lein deps
6. lein swank
7. M-x slime-connect ... connected
8. open tmp.org file and place cursor within a block of code and do C-c C-c
9. Evaluate this block of code on your system? y
   

org-babel-execute-src-block: No org-babel-execute function for clojure!

What am I missing? I have the following:

  clojure-mode      1.11.4      installed
  org               20111122    installed
  slime             20100404.1  installed
  slime-repl        20100404    installed

... and lein plugin swank-clojure (1.3.3 I think)

Andrew:

Make sure you have

(require 'ob-clojure)

in your controlling emacs file (mine is <username>.el).

Thanks! Next step: org-babel-execute:clojure:Cannot open load file: swank-clojure ...

[ck]

I did not encounter that particular problem. But to compare, my
project file is

...
:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.3.0"]]
:dev-dependencies [[jline "0.9.94"]
[swank-clojure "1.3.0" :exclusions [org.clojure/
clojure]]]
...

and my current ~/.emacs.d/elpha folder contains

clojure-mode-1.11.4/
clojure-test-mode-1.6.0/
durendal-0.2/
org-20111123/
slime-20100404.1/
slime-repl-20100404/
swank-clojure-1.1.0/

using Phil Hagelberg's emacs-starter-kit (https://github.com/
technomancy/emacs-starter-kit).

I would also like to point to this excellent blog by Nurullah Akkaya

http://nakkaya.com/2010/12/12/using-clojure-with-org-babel-and-inferior-lisp/

for using org-babel-clojure with inferior-lisp.

Hope that helps.

Thanks -- it does help somewhat...

1. How is it that you have swank-clojure in your elpa directory? M-x list-packages does not have swank-clojure as an option.
2. Why does your elpa directory have 1.1.0 and your project file have 1.3.0?
3. Is there a choice between SLIME and inferior lisp when doing literate programming in emacs? I want to keep all of my crutches like paredit-mode, syntax highlighting, symbol completion, etc. Do I have to be in an inferior lisp and lose all that?

The swank-clojure elisp package is deprecated and should not be used.

> Why does your elpa directory have 1.1.0 and your project file have 1.3.0?

swank-clojure.el was hard-coded to use Clojure 1.1.0 way back in the
day, which is part of the reason it's deprecated.

Here's the relevant bit of my .emacs for Babel + Clojure:
https://github.com/stuartsierra/dotfiles/blob/cb88b1ca020fd5beebb3de092f12aa27daddd779/.emacs#L203

This requires Org mode version 7.7.

I mostly use inferior-lisp mode instead of SWANK/SLIME.

I would be really interested to see some examples of
literate programs. Please consider releasing them as
open source, possibly pushed to github.

Haven't done any recently. A long, long time ago I wrote a Common Lisp
FFI tool using a Literate Programming tool called noweb.

It's so old it predates GitHub: http://stuartsierra.com/software/perl-in-lisp

[Robert McIntyre]

Here's a pew literate programs I've written, as well as the website on
which they are hosted.

I use some emacs scripts to automate tangling and weaving.

As you know, now I get 

org-babel-execute:clojure:Cannot open load file: swank-clojure

The method org-babel-execute:clojure in my .emacs.d/elpa/org-20111129/ob-clojure.el file says (require 'swank-clojure). Given that the swank-clojure elisp package is deprecated and should not be used what should I do?

Thanks in advance

[Andrew]

I found [1] from Eric Schulte which says to add certain package archives such that ELPA finds swank-clojure... But what about the swank-clojure elisp package being deprecated? (By the way, I do get further now... the clojure code evaluates)

 (setq package-archives
        '(("original"    . "http://tromey.com/elpa/";)
          ("gnu"         . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/";)
          ("marmalade"   . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/";)))

swank-clojure.el is definitely deprecated, but there could still be code
out there in the wild depending upon it. If that's the case then a bug
should be opened for that package.

Eric asks: The only function ob-clojure uses from swank-clojure is `swank:interactive-eval-region' (used with `slime-eval') in the `org-babel-execute:clojure' function. Which function would now be used to evaluate a region of clojure code? Would `slime-eval-region' suffice?

[Stuart Sierra]

I was able to get org-babel evaluation working with Clojure. Requires latest versions of Clojure mode, Org mode, and Lein. Check out my dotfiles repo for examples.

Yes, clojure-test-mode uses both slime-eval and slime-eval-async; he
should pick one of these like so:

(defun clojure-test-eval (string &optional handler)
(slime-eval-async `(swank:eval-and-grab-output ,string)
(or handler #'identity)))

(defun clojure-test-eval-sync (string)
(slime-eval `(swank:eval-and-grab-output ,string)))

Actually swank:interactive-eval-region and friends are not elisp
functions; they are Clojure functions.
