Re: [Orgmode] Org-Babel - Clojure & Lazy Sequences Bug

[Eric Schulte]

Hi Rick,

I've noticed this as well.  I'm not the original author of ob-clojure.el
(Joel Boehland is), so I'm not sure how the clojure interaction
currently works, although I know it makes heavy usage of slime.  There
must be an existing mechanism used by slime to unroll these lazy
evaluations, for example in the repl (range 10) *is* expanded

user> (range 10)
(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9)

I'm using clojure extensively in my studies so I have all the more
reason to try to figure this out.  I'll put this on my stack.

BTW: I've noticed that I am unable to get Clojure code blocks to play
nicely with existing slime sessions, say for example I have some large
piece of data in scope in a slime sessions and I'd like to access that
data from a clojure code block and dump some analysis to an Org-mode
document.  I have not yet found out how to make this work.  If you have,
I'd love to hear how, otherwise I'll look into this as well.

Having just looked at this quickly, the following function over-defines
`org-babel-execute:clojure' s.t.  the body of the code block is sent to
the superior list in the same manner as when calling `slime-eval-defun'
from within a .clj file.  While this doesn't handle starting up clojure
instances or differentiate between session and external evaluation it
should fix the issues mentioned above and could be the beginning of a
permanent solution.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun org-babel-execute:clojure (body params)
    (with-temp-buffer
      (insert body)
      (read
       (slime-eval
        `(swank:interactive-eval-region 
          ,(buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max)))))))
#+end_src

which then results in

#+begin_src clojure
  (map (fn [el] (list el (* el el))) (range 10))
#+end_src

evaluating to

#+results:
| 0 |  0 |
| 1 |  1 |
| 2 |  4 |
| 3 |  9 |
| 4 | 16 |
| 5 | 25 |
| 6 | 36 |
| 7 | 49 |
| 8 | 64 |
| 9 | 81 |
