#Clojure is terrific fun due to the fast feedback of the repl and the culture of simplicity. However, what you may not know is that it can also operate at high efficiency and power-house performance. See async, transducers, and @draganrocks cutting-edge work on numerics that leverage the GPU.
@worldsendless I find the REPL slows me down when I'm trying to debug large functions with multiple code paths in large projects.
@wolfshirts really? That is surprising, since "slow down" is anti-repl. Are you around using the repl CLI? I can see that being a slowdown, as opposed to simply repl-powered interacting with my code in-file
@worldsendless I'm using calva to connect to an in project REPL. I just feel like it's slower than clicking next in a debugger to find out where exactly in the logic flow through a pile of functions you're getting a return that's causing issues. I'm really not a Clojure expert though, and I've heard a lot of people talk about the REPL as being very fast.
@wolfshirts I just learned that apparently Calva requires you to use the repl window as your reply, instead of your actual code. Yeah, until that is fixed, I believe you about "slower". Maybe TDD can help?
