Current display for atoms looks like this: 

#reveal/atom[:foo 0x64b22bd7]
What do you folks think about showing it instead like this: 
(atom :foo #_0x64b22bd7)
?

I quite like the current format. Why are you thinking the new one? More amenable to REPL manipulation?

kenny16:11:20

I will say, one that struck me as odd is changing the rendering of the reader tag for Clojure builtin objects. e.g., #reveal/atom instead of #object[clojure.lang.Atom

It's shorter

And if you copy-paste it as text to repl you sort of get the same kind of object

vlaaad21:11:46

Clojure's default object printing seems too verbose for me

same goes for futures, delays, promises, refs, volatiles etc.
