I understand the idea of minimizing the dependencies of a basic clojurescript development deployment with a working repl.
However, I find the basic deployment that is prescribed by lein-cljsbuild not very "basic" when it starts-up 3 different jvm's while the repl-server and webserver do not share the live clojurescript metadata, and where we have issues with cross-site hurdles that complicates using the repl-server as a conventional webserver, which is needed to get a help/reflection facility going… it's a complicated beast… hopefully we get that all working more smoothly soon. You're right that this ring-repl implementation coud be an alternative project, which could have the advantage that you would be able to add a repl-service and/or reflection/service through standard ring-middleware modules - with could potentially benefit from other modules to provide ssl, authN&authZ, websockets/aleph, etc. Just wanting to here the pros&cons. -FrankS.
