I didn't expect determinism's usefulness to be ever under question but I guess there's first time for everything. In Elixir most of us use the REPL to sketch out an idea; to shorten the development cycle a bit and have something that looks to be working. Once that's happened then we write the code properly, with tests and all. REPL and tinkering are just one tool to make your work more deterministic. It's not a personality that wins over all other personalities. And stop looking for ghosts in the machine, it ain't happening. I like me a good sci-fi as well but general AI is quite far away still.
