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?"

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.

As long as the tool lives in the ecosystem and is discoverable alongside Clojure, the name isn't an issue at all.

clojure hardly needs a "hello world" introduction

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 me personally - the interactive feedback feels so natural and functional programming matches so well my preferred dev process. But it is more difficult for me to understand where this type of tooling fits in dev workflow. Is Morse an incremental improvement? Does it make more sense in significant Clojure dev shops with many programmers vs just me sitting around with an Emacs repl going?
