I could see embedding as a huge win as everything moves into the cloud. Just bake this into your project and push it to the test servers. Then log in and code.

I could see embedding as a huge win as everything moves into the cloud. Just bake this into your project and push it to the test servers. Then log in and code. Imagine not having to connect your laptop to seventeen other "microservices" to be able to develop on something similar to the production environment. No more developing blind in your IDE and then falling back onto vim or nano when trying to play with a remote server.
Of course make sure it is turned off for production, but the same applies to ssh and vim.
Agreed on the dependency weirdness though. It does feel a bit like when that one guy keeps checking his Eclipse or Intellij config files into source controll. I hate that guy.
- hashkb 10y agoIs removing vi and SSH from production servers a common thing? How do you configure and operate them?
- kedean 10y agoThese days a lot of companies will have production systems launch from a configuration that is known to work as expected already, via QA processes. It'll be launched and configured with tools like chef, puppet, docker, and other buzzwordy technologies. When something needs to be changed, you edit the static configs, stored in a source control system, and let chef and company do the heavy lifting.
- qwertyuiop924 10y ago...But can't you do the same thing with any REPL? Run NREPL (Or your local equivalent in your Lisp dialect) on a port for internal use, and then just connect to your server with SLIME/CIDER/Geiser or whatever you non-emacs-using folk use (although why you would use another text editor for Lisp code is beyond me).
