To address the Infinity exception that Sean & AJ are seeing, I think the issue there is that in REPLy / lein repl, we do a `read` of the input, and then `pr-str` the result and send it on to nREPL. So when nREPL goes to re-read the value back in, that's what triggers the compiler error.
user=> (pr-str (read-string "1e308")) "1.0E308" user=> (pr-str (read-string "1e309")) "Infinity" ;;; and then across the wire... user=> (eval (read-string "1.0E308")) 1.0E308 user=> (eval (read-string "Infinity")) CompilerException java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resolve symbol: Infinity in this context, compiling:(NO_SOURCE_PATH:1) Incidentally, the reason for the full read rather than a dumb send-on-newline strategy is so that we can accumulate multiple lines of a form before sending to nREPL. Round-tripping read/pr-str like this has seemed to work out fine so far, but I'm imagining there may be other edge cases like this that could get tricky. So maybe there's an alternate strategy we can come up with. I'd appreciate suggestions on the Github issue I just opened for it: https://github.com/trptcolin/reply/issues/71 -Colin On Tuesday, June 26, 2012 4:37:56 PM UTC-5, mefesto wrote: > > When I run the repl from leiningen (v2.0.0-preview6) I get the > Infinity exception.
