Ah, this famous REPL driven development. After which we are left with highly coupled codebase that has almost no tests. After doing clojure for 6+ years I forced myself at some point to disable REPL, it allows one to go fast in short term and creates way too much debt long term.
Nowadays I find repl driven approach to be not so sustainable for mid to large sizes of teams.
It is fun on small/personal projects though.
- yathern 7y agoWhy is REPL a cause of a coupled codebase and lack of tests? Surely those are programming practices that don't need to go hand-in-hand.
