Are Clojure dev teams outside of Nubank currently using REBL excited about this? As a small project Clojure dev (and admittedly a couple years out of daily Clojure use), these types of projects are hard for me to place in a day-to-day work context. The doc says that Morse is one tool that can "amplify the power of the programmer during interactive development". I totally feel like Clojure REPL-based dev is better for…

> Clojure REPL-based dev is better for me personally me too! Morse is complementary to your normal REPL-based workflow. it is designed to not get in the way of that.

Is it fair to say a user of rebl isn't going to notice much difference between morse and rebl?

But replicant seems important overall for the ecosystem and probably worth highlighting?

dimitar found and linked a screenshot upthread: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nubank/morse/main/screensh... (more would be nice but it's a start)

I apparently missread the content, more reason why it needs screenshots or anything informative front and center...

You could have just read the article, it explains very clearly what it is about. Or checked the github page linked in the article that provides more information and screenshots.

> in an unsupported way The majority of Clojure projects use Leiningen. As a consequence, REBL/Morse do not support the majority of Clojure projects.

I haven't seen leiningen based projects in a long time. Are you sure?

We specifically preferred Leiningen for all new projects at my last job because of a number of plugins we still used that were unsupported by Deps. This was a year ago, so that may have changed since I left.

I still find Lein a little easier to use, and use it for personal projects, but appreciate Deps's more data-driven, "simpler" approach -- and it seems faster.

This sounds awful to google for, I guess if you do "Clojure Morse" it might work. The other nitpick is, if you're ever introducing a new language, regardless of context, throw some code samples, like a simple applicable "hello world" at a minimum. And because someone has to... "Can I look at your Morse code?"

> if you're ever introducing a new language, regardless of context, throw some code samples This is not a new language, it's a tool for Clojure. I really appreciate the contributions that Nubank is making (after making Datomic free, https://blog.datomic.com/2023/04/datomic-is-free.html ). My only nitpick this time is that I would have liked some screenshots/screencasts of the this new tool in action.

wait datomic is free now? wow nice

I wasted several hours trying to make REBL work from a Leiningen project. Couldn't manage to have it connect to my REPL and show me the forms I'd get there. Gave up even though I managed to overcome the boggus dependencies. I'm fed up with Clojure/script and the core dev team. The language came out without a build system, so Technomancy invented Leiningen, the build system, and eventually, something like 10 years lat…

The Trello link didn’t really tell me what Lux is.

Is it this one? https://luxlang.github.io/lux/

So it got inspired by Haskell, clojure etc. and is early dev… not sure what the cadence is or how big the community is.

What benefits does this project provide vs the established more battle tested projects, like clojure?

REBL wanted to be your REPL but Morse uses the REPL that it's hosted in or remotely connected to.
