His demos only work with small amounts of code, scale up to the size of a real codebase and they all become infeasible, as well as not really that useful.

  I think patterns of developmental and good tooling make it scale up at least in utility to larger projects. Worse case use the workbench analogy like the clojurescript oriented devcards project where you check in playground style simple environments that are designed to make it interactively developing sub systems and components easy.
