There is no reason to merely imagine ... you can do it today. Here is a transcript of Stuart Halloway's "REPL-Driven Development" talk with links to sources that he mentions: https://github.com/matthiasn/talk-transcripts/blob/master/Halloway_Stuart/REPLDrivenDevelopment.md
The part of that talk where he discusses a break facility in the REPL can be found by searching that transcript for "Joy of Clojure", the book where one implementation of this is given. There is a link in the transcript to this repository, which has code you can copy and paste into your own project, or utility library, etc. https://github.com/joyofclojure/book-source/blob/master/first-edition/src/joy/breakpoint.clj The source for the macro named `contextual-eval` is here: https://github.com/joyofclojure/book-source/blob/master/first-edition/src/joy/macros.clj Andy On Mon, Feb 1, 2021 at 4:28 AM Nesvarbu Nereikia <nesvarbu.vi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Brandon, what a productivity booster the breakloop wold be, huh? > Basically would save you time and mental energy every time you sprinkle > your code with print statements now. > > On Friday, January 29, 2021, Brandon R <brandon.ri...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> This may be the talk I was thinking of: https://vimeo.com/223309989 >> >> On Fri, Jan 29, 2021 at 10:04 AM Brandon R <brandon.ri...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >>> I believe what's described in that post is possible in Clojure, at least >>> to an extent.
