Seems like Stu shares a lot of opinions with our group. He backed Poucet on twitter too.

I'm starting to wonder how to compose blobs.

dominicm22:07:23

I'll start with the obvious to hear the drawbacks: Concatenate them?

cgrand22:07:29

Thanks, otherwise I would have overlooked this option.

cgrand16:07:28

Ok so concatenating is sort-of an option especially if you imagine [base unrepl blob][extension1][extension2]...

cgrand16:07:16

then blobs for extensions may be re-upgrades — I have to think through that

cgrand16:07:50

rather than (add-extension! ...) (and defining what an extension can do), let’s give whole power to blobs by exposing a way to start an unrepl from unrepl (akin to what clojure.main/repl does)

dominicm16:07:39

I'm guessing extensions can add new [:blah] to unrepl? When nesting clojure.main/repl, I think you get a "clean slate", would it be confusing to have them nested & compose like that?

Honestly, I don't know. There are more pressing matters, let's put this on the back burner. Hopefully we'll get a tasty stew of ideas.
