I actually have that working, but I have to finish some of the build scripting stuff before I can release it. > FWIW, Boot allows you to play with arbitrary libraries in the REPL like > this: > > > > boot -d group/artifact repl > > > > No project needed, no build.boot etc, just a REPL with the specified > libraries available, wherever you are. > Yeah, boot really starts from dynamic and that drives some of the choices.
