@bhauman do you envision this as something that can be potentially leveraged by clj or reply (which are probably the most commonly used REPLs in general)?

@bozhidar that is exactly what I'm envisioning

Btw, what’s behind the name? I’m always curious about such stories.

Rebel -> REPL I guess, but there might be more this.

I like the sound of "Rebel REPL" that's what inspired the name

😄

I love this song! And I love the idea overall!

I'm starting to think I need to clarify, that I'm not advocating spending more time at the terminal REPL. The editor REPL connection is a superior experience by far. I'm just trying to make it more fun/pleasant when we do use it. More importantly for folks who don't know how to navigate the Clojure tooling landscape, I want them get a taste of the Clojure dev experience.

I don’t think I ever used a terminal REPL with any Lisp dialect, but I guess the main reason was that they all were pretty basic compared to something like SLIME, geiser, CIDER, etc.

Rebel REPL seems like something I would potentially want to use for some quick tasks.
