may be i would use this: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Keyboard-Macros.html

Is there some quick trick to preventing accidently printing huge strings int he repl which slow down emacs a lot? Just setting *print-length/level* isn't 100% effective due to large singular values. I'm using inf-clojure now, but willing to check out cider or anything else if it includes ways to deal with this. Like is there a way to say "never print anything bigger than this many characters"
