Fair enough, I think I am having difficulty in understanding your views because firstly I have never worked with Java, closest language I have worked with is C# and I don't particularly dislike its REPL, its nothing to write home about

You sir, seem to be hell-bent against REPLs :P I agree with your point that IDEs are getting better but REPLs are getting better too, why should they be relegated to be mere artifacts of the past. Your java REPL will mostly have autocomplet

Definitely start with the book I mentioned, it is by Edwin Brady, he leads the development of Idris. I am reading it right now and it is an enjoyable read :)

The interactive development workflow in Idris is best described as type driven development and the focus seems to be on making the REPL an interface where an intelligent dialog can happen in between the programmer and the compiler, with the

REPLs don't necessarily have to be ephemral, this is my REPL session(Jupyter Notebook) exported as HTML -- ( http://abhirag.in/articles/train_of_thought_1.html ), and also great REPLs can help in interactive static

The only debugging experience I find enjoyable in Emacs is debugging Clojure using cider[1] and I think it comes close to what you are describing but I think you might already be aware of that :) [1] -- ( https://github.com/c

I have never used a Lisp Machine so forgive my naivety but I saw the demo and you seem to be referring to the ability of displaying images inline in a buffer. Emacs can definitely do that, I have used Emacs IPython Notebook[1] which is a RE

Hydrogen seems nice, I also occasionally get tired of the default jupyter notebook interface and use Emacs[1] to edit my notebooks, this way I can have all the niceties of jupyter notebooks without working in the browser :D [1] -- ( https:&

You seem to be using SublimeText, check out SublimeREPL extension[ https://github.com/wuub/SublimeREPL/blob/master/README.md ]. Once setup you'll be able to evaluate code blocks in a running REPL :) A

"About a decade ago, I built a small web app using Common Lisp (SNACK) and a lot of the development I did was done through adding new features and debugging in the REPL. While I saved the VM, reading the code months later to add a feat

May I suggest concentrating on playing scales first, your fingers have to get used to putting enough pressure on the strings that the notes are not muted and you can slowly build that strength by playing individual notes first :) Also the p

I think avoiding what you call "debugger-induced tunnel vision" can be done by using a debugger to step through the code just to read it, debuggers can also be tools to better understand what the code is really doing because you n

The letter he wrote to the court was an interesting read( https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/04/21/technology/do... ), still don't know what to make of it though.

This book( http://composingprograms.com/ ) is in Python and is based on SICP. I found it interesting enough to include it in my ever-growing to-read list, worth checking out.

Now that I have a better idea of your dev setup I think I can be of a bit more help :) 1. If you are prototyping and prefer working on a remote server, have a look at( https://notebooks.azure.com/ ), memory is limited to 4Gb
