Bozhidar Batsov

2026 Annual Funding Report 2. Published May 1, 2026.

The last two months have been some of the busiest I’ve had in clojure-emacs land in a long while. No big “X.Y” CIDER release to point at yet, but there’s been a steady stream of important work across most of the sibling projects. Below are some of the highlights.

clojure-mode 5.22 and 5.23

Two clojure-mode releases back-to-back, after a long stretch of relative quiet:

• 5.22 (March 3): a big bug-fix dump — clojure-sort-ns no longer mangles :gen-class, clojure-thread-last-all doesn’t eat closing parens into line comments, clojure-add-arity preserves arglist metadata, letfn bindings get a function face, and edn-mode indents data like data. On the feature side: a new clojure-preferred-build-tool for projects that have several build tool files lying around, a dedicated clojure-discard-face for #_ forms, and project root detection for ClojureCLR’s deps-clr.edn.
• 5.23 (March 25): adopts the modern indent spec tuple format (((:block N)), ((:inner D)), …) that clojure-ts-mode and cljfmt already use. The legacy format (integers, :defn, positional lists) still works, but it’s slated for removal in clojure-mode 6. There’s a new public clojure-get-indent-spec API, and CI moved off CircleCI onto GitHub Actions.

Unifying the indent format across our Clojure tooling has been on my todo list for years - happy to see it finally happen!

clojure-ts-mode

No release in this window, but I poured a lot of effort into the test suite - proper indentation and font-lock test coverage, a new configuration option test suite, and integration tests against sample files. Boring infrastructure work, but it’s the kind of thing that pays compound interest as the mode keeps maturing.

Side note: In the past several months I’ve spent a bit of time hacking on neocaml and my work there provided quite a bit of inspiration for improvements to clojure-ts-mode. (and, of course - clojure-ts-mode inspired me to create neocaml in the first place)

Orchard 0.41

Orchard v0.41.0 shipped on April 13 with a rewrite of orchard.xref, a refactor of orchard.indent, and a test modernization pass. I chipped in some smaller fixes - a cycle guard in fn-transitive-deps, validating input to stacktrace/analyze, compiling a hot regex once instead of on every call, and standardizing the -test suffix across the test suite.

We’ve also migrated from Lein to tools.deps for Orchard and probably we’ll continue in this direction for the rest of our Clojure projects in the nREPL and Clojure Emacs GitHub orgs. No rush on that front, though.

cider-nrepl 0.59

cider-nrepl v0.59.0 landed on April 14. The headline change from my side is that the ops are now properly namespaced (#710) - something that’s been sitting in the issue tracker for a very long time. CIDER on master already speaks the new namespaced ops with a fallback to the legacy names for older cider-nrepl versions, so upgrades should be painless.

Other notable bits: Compliment and clj-reload are no longer shaded, the test middleware properly binds *report-counters*, and we extract inline maps from composite Lein profiles correctly.

refactor-nrepl

refactor-nrepl got a serious modernization push in April - no release yet, but a lot of cleanup landed:

• Dropped http-kit in favor of the JDK’s built-in HTTP client (one fewer dependency, one less thing to break).
• Restored hotload-dependency on top of tools.deps.
• A new def-op macro to simplify how ops are defined and how errors are handled.
• A shared test session helper, a make lint target, and modernized CircleCI executors.
• A full dependency bump.

Expect a refactor-nrepl release once the dust settles.

clj-refactor.el

Just a small cleanup pass to align with the new Emacs 28+ baseline. clj-refactor is in maintenance mode these days, but I’m trying to keep it healthy.

Eventually I’ll be taking a closer look at moving some of its functionality to clojure-mode and CIDER, but there’s more ground-work that needs to be done first.

CIDER

No CIDER release this cycle, but master accumulated a lot of structural work that will land in CIDER 1.22:

• nrepl-client.el decoupled from CIDER. It no longer depends on sesman or any of CIDER’s UI layer, which makes the nREPL client genuinely reusable outside CIDER. I also split cider-connection.el into cider-session.el + cider-connection.el and decoupled cider-eval.el from cider-repl.el.
• cider-jack-in got a serious overhaul: a proper jack-in tool registry, unified entry points around shared helpers, TRAMP fixes, sane runtime defaults, and cider--resolve-command now actually works over TRAMP.
• A pile of resilience fixes for the nREPL client: tear down the SSH tunnel on abnormal client disconnect, spawn the tunnel without a shell, plug request-id leaks in raw response handlers, stop response-handler errors from poisoning the response queue, and put a FIFO cap on nrepl-completed-requests so it can’t grow without bound.
• Namespaced ops everywhere, matching cider-nrepl 0.59 - with a fallback to the legacy op names so older cider-nrepl keeps working.
• A new nrepl-make-eval-handler with a keyword-arg API (and removal of the trivial wrappers that used to live around it).
• Mode-line spinner while tests are running, which is a small thing but I missed it every time I ran a long test suite.
• Lots of test coverage backfill on the client side.

This is shaping up to be one of those releases that doesn’t look flashy on the outside but cleans up a ton of long-standing internal mess. The decoupling work in particular has been on my mind for years.

I’ve also started working on experimental support for prepl in CIDER. I’m not sure if this will ever land or be properly supported, but it’s been a fun side quest to me to ensure that CIDER logic is decoupled properly from its bundled nREPL client that I plan to eventually spin out of CIDER.

MrAnderson

Slightly outside the clojure-emacs org, but related: I’ve been helping MrAnderson get back on its feet. Three PRs landed in March/April:

• Modernize deps and migrate CI to GitHub Actions
• Fix resource leaks, null safety, and minor code issues
• Exclude clj-kondo.exports from jar extraction

MrAnderson is what cider-nrepl (and others) use to shade dependencies, so a healthy MrAnderson is in everyone’s interest. There’s more to come here!

What’s next

CIDER 1.22 once the jack-in and decoupling work settles, a refactor-nrepl release to ship all the April cleanup, and hopefully a fresh MrAnderson cut soon after.

As always - thanks to everyone who pitched in, especially Sashko Yakushev who once again did much of the the heavy lifting on cider-nrepl and Orchard.

And a HUGE THANKS to the members of Clojurists Together for supporting my Clojure OSS work! You rock!

Clojure Camp

2026 Annual Funding Report 2. Published May 12, 2026.

• Some of our CT funds are being set aside to support three efforts this year:
  • sponsoring conference attendance for new Clojurians,
  • supporting Clojure and non-Clojure meetups with a “pizza fund” (WIP),
  • hosting an experimental nano-conj (in-person multi-day open-ended hack-on-clojure “retreat”) (WIP)
• On the “dev side”….
  • Worked through most of the backlog of exercises done in mobs and released on https://exercises.clojure.camp/
  • Continued on badge system, mostly wrestling with display of the “learning graph”
• Other happenings
  • Hosted an in-person workshop at the Recurse Center (with another planned)
  • Started a new book club reading Knesl’s “Applied High Order Functions in Clojure”
  • Early planning for our presence at Conj this year (may be doing a “Learning Together” track on the workshop day, featuring Mobbing and Pairing sessions)
• Raf has a major commitment finishing up in May, so June+July should see a big push on Camp projects (and resuming regular Mobs)
  

Eric Dallo

2026 Annual Funding Report 2. Published May 8, 2026.

Excited 2 months of lots of work and help from Clojurians! We had improvements in eca and clojure-lsp mainly, and new projects as well.

ECA

ECA keeps growing a lot, receiving lots of contributions, with more than 800 stars already I’m planning a stable release soon, in these 2 months we had lots of releases with ton of stuff, so I will focus on the main highlights:

0.109.1 - 0.131.1

• Plugins: New plugin system to load external configuration from git repos or local paths, with an official marketplace at plugins.eca.dev. Plugins can provide skills, MCP servers, agents, commands, hooks, rules and arbitrary config overrides, managed via /plugins, /plugin-install and /plugin-uninstall.
• Remote web control: New remote web control server for browser-based chat observation and control via web.eca.dev, allowing you to observe and drive ECA chats from any browser.
• Trust mode: Clients can now auto-accept tool calls that would require manual approval, with regex patterns support for fine-grained shell_command approval.
• Task tool: Built-in task tracking tool to let the agent plan and follow multi-step work more reliably.
• Background shell commands: New background parameter on shell_command and a dedicated bg_job tool to manage long-running processes like dev servers and watchers.
• Chat list, open, fork and /model: New chat/list, chat/open and /fork commands let clients render a chat sidebar and clone existing conversations, plus a new /model command to switch model mid-chat.
• Message flags: Named checkpoints inside a chat for resuming and forking from a specific point, with full chat history preserved across compactions via tombstone markers.
• ask_user tool: LLMs can now ask the user questions with optional selectable options, fully integrated with hooks and trust modes.
• Image generation: Support for OpenAI’s built-in image_generation tool via the Responses API, including image edits across turns and MCP tools that return image content.
• Prompt steering: New chat/promptSteer notification to inject user messages into a running prompt at the next LLM turn boundary, without stopping it.
• MCP improvements: New mcp/addServer, mcp/removeServer, mcp/updateServer, mcp/enableServer and mcp/disableServer requests to manage MCP servers at runtime, plus much better OAuth spec compliance and a switch from the Java SDK to plumcp.
• More providers and models: Added LiteLLM, LM Studio, Mistral and Moonshot as built-in providers with login support, Claude Opus 4.7, deepseek-v4-pro, gpt-5.4 and gpt-5.5 variants, and GitHub Enterprise Copilot.

ECA Desktop

Since ECA has been pretty stable and built in top of a nice extensible protocol, it worked so well that we decide to offer the same server capabilities to a Desktop client, similar to Claude Desktop but reusing the same server, this makes possible to have the same experience without an Editor, especially useful for non techinical people in price for a thin layer connecting to the server.

That’s a lot for ECA and all part of the amazing community that’s been activelly helping with issues, feedback and contributions.

clojure-lsp

We had some important bumps with lots of fixes, new code actions and contributions! The main highlight here is the arrival of performance tests in the project, which is a long waited thing which would help unblock performance optmizations in clojure-lsp since now we have a way to reliable know a mean, p90, p80 of how much time clojure-lsp spend on its features like initialization.

2026.05.05-12.58.26

• Fix cyclic-dependencies linter falsely reporting cycles for (require ...) calls inside (comment ...) forms. #2107
• Support find-definition for fully qualified vars even when the namespace is not explicitly required. #2028
• Fix create-test code action appending a duplicate deftest when one with the matching name already exists, now navigating to the existing deftest instead. #2274
• Change the default of :clean :ns-inner-blocks-indentation from :next-line to :keep, so clean-ns (including the automatic run after add-missing-libspec, add-require-suggestion, add-missing-import, and move-form) no longer reflows the :require/:import block when the user has not configured an indentation style. Users who want the previous behavior can set :clean :ns-inner-blocks-indentation :next-line explicitly. #2261
• Fix add-missing-require refer suggestions leaking across languages, so a .clj file no longer offers refers defined only in .cljs files (and vice versa). #2271
• Add :private-by-default-on-extract? setting to control whether extracted functions and defs are private by default. #2258
• Measure performance of code actions
• Avoid incorrect circular dependency errors from :as-alias by working around clj-depend bug.
• Fix inline-def to work with defs with metas.
• Bump clj-kondo to 2026.04.16-20260503.191510-9.
• bump up timeout for code action performance measurement, include p90 measurement #2236
• implementation of inline function. #1827
• Fix initialization crash when a source file has syntax errors (e.g. unbalanced parens) by using safe parser in unused-public-var linter’s :gen-class check. #2242
• Bump rewrite-clj to 1.2.54.
• implement move to :let refactoring #1732
• Measure performance of didOpen and didChange
• if code-action selection end-position args aren’t provided, don’t try to use them #2276
• add unit tests for command actions location args #2279
• New code actions: replace :refer with :as and replace :as with :refer, with support for merging into existing :refer vectors.

clojure-lsp-intellij

3.5.1 - 3.5.5

• Implement createServerInstaller and createLanguageServerSettingsContributor on ClojureLanguageServerFactory. Newer LSP4IJ versions added these as default interface methods, but our def-extension/gen-class-backed factory always overrides interface methods, so explicit stubs are required.
• Fix slurp-action-test against newer LSP4IJ versions. Bump clj4intellij to 0.9.0 and switch the test fixture to setup-heavy so the project base has a real filesystem path (LSP4IJ’s FileSystemWatcherManager calls VirtualFile.toNioPath(), which throws on the in-memory TempFileSystem used by light fixtures).
• Fix new namespace creation incorrectly creating files under the absolute host filesystem path. #83
• Fix QuoteHandler compile error by merging BAD_CHARACTER into the quote-handler TokenSet.
• Fix auto closing single quotes.
• Improve CI to have plugin zips in all releases, avoiding wait for Jetbrains approval.
  

Jeaye Wilkerson

2026 Annual Funding Report 2. Published May 8, 2026.

Howdy folks! Thank you so much for the sponsorship this year. For the last two months, I have been focused on compiler architecture and optimization for jank.

On the compiler architecture side, I have designed and implemented a custom intermediate representation (IR) for jank programs which sets the stage for writing Clojure-specific optimization passes. This IR operates at the level of Clojure’s semantics, which is much higher level than LLVM IR, and so we are able to perform optimizations which LLVM could never do for us.

On the optimization side, I have taken the first benchmark of many, recursive fibonacci, and I have optimized it to be nearly twice as fast as Clojure JVM, for the same exact code. This benchmark is the first of many and I will be following up with more benchmark optimization results in the coming two months, using our new IR as a platform for optimizing jank’s performance.

To read all about the details of jank’s IR and the benchmark optimization, take a look at this blog post:

Babashka conf and Dutch Clojure Days 2026

Babashka Conf 2026 was held on May 8th in the OBA Oosterdok library in Amsterdam! David Nolen, primary maintainer of ClojureScript, was our keynote speaker. We’re excited to have Nubank, Exoscale, Bob, Flexiana and Itonomi as sponsors. Nubank and Exoscale are hiring. Wendy Randolph was our event host. For the schedule and other info, see babashka.org/conf.
The day after babashka conf, Dutch Clojure Days 2026 was also held - so it was a great weekend in Amsterdam!
Hope to have seen many of you there!

Projects

In the last two months I spent significant time organizing babashka conf, but made progress in several projects as well.

My upstream work to enable async/await in ClojureScript was merged in the beginning of March. The implementation mirrors squint. Thanks David for reviewing and merging. Also deftest now supports an ^:async annotation so you can use async/await and don’t need to mess around with the cljs.test/async macro anymore:

• CLJS-3470 async/await
• CLJS-3476 async deftest

I’ll be presenting this work at the Dutch Clojure Days.

Rebel-readline is now bb compatible. The work involved mainly exposing more JLine stuff and making sure rebel-readline didn’t hit any internal JLine APIs. One step to drive this to completion was to make a dependency, compliment, bb compatible. Thanks both to Bruce and Alexander for the cooperation.

Squint now supports cljs.test and multimethods! clojure-mode was ported to use the new cljs.test.

On the cream front, I put in effort to make the binary smaller and have been keeping up with the new GraalVM EA releases. I’ve been posting bug reports to the crema maintainer. Currently there’s still an unfixed bug around core.async that I have trouble reproducing in pure Java. I also added lots of library tests to CI so I can ensure stability in the long run. For now it remains experimental, but the direction is promising.

A performance PR to weavejester/dependency speeds up depend, depends? and topo-sort significantly, so clerk notebooks render faster.

The cljfmt library, also by @weavejester, now fully runs from source in babashka. The Java diff library that wasn’t bb-compatible was replaced with text-diff, but only for the babashka path. The JVM build of cljfmt still uses the original Java diff library, with a possible switch later once text-diff has matured.

Several SCI fixes were made to improve Clojure compatibility between babashka and Clojure. E.g. records can now support extending to IFn which was a blocker for some Clojure libs that tried to run in bb so far.

Clj-kondo 2026.04.15 got a few new linters thanks to @jramosg for stewarding most of these. It also has better out of the box potemkin support, and @alexander-yakushev contributed a wave of performance improvements.
