@rads cherry supports :repl true to compile to REPL output. This is demoed directly in the playground which is effectively a REPL since you can compile forms incrementally: https://squint-cljs.github.io/cherry/

Let's say I'm sending socket REPL commands to that browser REPL. There's no way to do this right now is there?

(in-ns 'foo)
(def a 1)

(in-ns 'bar)
(require 'foo)
(def b (inc foo/a))
(println b)

there's no in-ns but you can just write (ns foo) instead

I've done some work in the squint browser REPL, technically the same issues

here's the branch I worked on: https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint/tree/browser-nrepl

Cool, I'll take a look at this. I'd like to see if I can eventually set up a local nREPL server to talk to the cherry REPL so I can run my React app and send commands to it from within that REPL context

Basically trying to replicate the shadow-cljs workflow. My app is already working well by reloading changes with a full page reload so this is more of a quality-of-life improvement. I know shadow-cljs uses piggieback on top of nREPL so I need to look into that a bit further but I'm trying to get something minimal working first

you could also try vite perhaps, then you might not have to do a full page reload

here's an example of such a setup: https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint/tree/main/examples/vite-react vite is a hot-reloader for JS

I'm familiar with vite but I think it's not as good as an actual REPL even with hot reloading

true

So I'd rather try to get that working and not add the complexity. IMO it's a good example of easy but not simple

I'm fine with esbuild for now

Plus I figure if I do get it working, others might benefit from having an example browser REPL that's ready to go for dev
