R.E. scaffolding in C#, with upcoming .NET 10, it's really simple: - Write code to myfile.cs - `dotnet run myfile.cs` That doesn't need scaffolding either. And the standard library is huge too; you could even add dependencies in that file. And since we're talking about RAD, Python can't even compare to Clojure. Having a separate REPL "server" that you interact with from your text editor with access to the JVM's ecosystem and standard library inside of a "living" environment and structural navigation from being a LISP is pure RAD. Heck, I often start a REPL "server" inside chrome's devtools with scittle[1] if I need to rapidly and programmatically interact with a website and/or to script something; I haven't been able to do that anywhere else. Even pure JS. [1]: https://github.com/babashka/scittle https://github.com/babashka/scittle

I've just had a quick look at some of this and they've basically just moved stuff in to the cs file from the proj file. I remember them saying this was on the roadmap when I was doing a .NET 8 refresher. // app.cs #:package Humanizer@2.* using Humanizer; It also seems anything non-trivial will still require proj files.

Even pure JS. All sounds very complicated and is the sort of thing I am trying to get away from. I find all of this stuff more of a hinderance than anything else.
