This defines a new local minor-mode `sotclojure-mode', which is
activated by the global `speed-of-thought-mode' on any clojure
buffers.
The mode is quite simple, and is composed of two parts:
1.1 Abbrevs
───────────
A large number of abbrevs which expand function initials to their
name. A few examples:
• wl -> when-let [|]
• n -> not
• wo -> with-open
• np -> number? (the p stands for predicate)
• ck -> :keys [|] (the c stands for colon)
Note that, in order to avoid frustration, the 1-letter abbrevs will
only expand after a `(' or after a `/', so you can still use 1-letter
local variables like `a' and `n'.
1.2 Commands
────────────
It also defines 4 commands, which really fit into this "follow the
thought-flow" way of writing. The bindings are as follows:
`M-RET': Break line, and insert `()' with point in the middle.
`C-RET': Do `forward-up-list', then do M-RET.
Hitting RET followed by a `(' was one of the most common key sequences
for me while writing elisp, so giving it a quick-to-hit key was a
significant improvement.
`C-c f': Find function under point. If it is not defined, create a
definition for it below the current function and leave point inside.
With these commands, you just write your code as you think of it. Once
you hit a “stop-point” of sorts in your tought flow, you hit `C-c f/v'
on any undefined functions/variables, write their definitions, and hit
`C-u C-SPC' to go back to the main function.
1.3 Small Example
─────────────────
With the above (assuming you use something like paredit or
electric-pair-mode), if you write:
┌────
│ (wl SPC {ck SPC x C-f C-RET (a SPC (np SPC y C-f SPC f SPC y
└────
You get
┌────
│ (when-let [{:keys [x]}
│ (and (number? y) (first y))])
└────
