I like this idea a lot. I've been thinking a lot lately how great it would be to have something like Flowsheets where you have a spreadsheet and language working together. This REPlugger closely matches a lot of how I end up writing code, with putting things over and over again into the REPL and seeing how they worked. I always wanted a REPL that could edit better. This is very cool and I think could be amazingly useful.

- taeric 8y agoAs noted in another post, this is how some languages were basically designed to be used. I'll challenge that you can't just claim it is lisp. Common lisp, though, is a solid model for this method of development.
- VectorLock 8y agoYes it does feel like Smalltalk and Scheme. I never really liked Lisp (I feel like a heretic saying that on HN) but having this for Python of JavaScript would be infinitely more useful to me.
- Royalaid 8y agoI would be curious to hear why. Where I work currently is full stack Clojure and I love it but have a few gripes (refactoring can be a pain) but overall it feels like a huge boon.
- VectorLock 8y agoAvailable libraries, developer talent pool, and support of Python is much greater. And personally I much prefer the syntax of Python and developing in it.
- taeric 8y agoGreater is subjective. Larger and more visible, I'd agree with.
