I think I'll take my REPL neat
My parens black and my bed at 3
CIDER is too sweet for me...

@kirtai Yes. I don't love it nearly as much as I loved the #InterLisp Lyric (and previous) structure editor, but it's better than most modern tooling.
It's that experience that I want to recreate either in the browser (which I'm confident I can do) or in an Electron app (which I'm exploring). The editor will communicate with the underlying #Lisp implementation probably over #nrepl; the idea is that it should be able to work with multiple Lisps, although my target is #PostScarcitySoftware .
nREPL server for Phel, enabling interactive development with Calva and other nREPL clients
Now even better:

@abcdw did you just demo #nvim and #nrepl with ares-nrepl at the end of your talk? It looked like Conjure?
That would be brilliant! @ekaitz_zarraga itz_zarraga
Interested in #declarative computing, #linux or #reproducible software? #Guix is going to be at #FOSDEM for lots of goodness on #guile #scheme and the #nix approach to packaging #FreeSoftware - check out the talks various people are giving:

As usual the Declarative and Minimalist computing track will have lots of interesting #lisp #spritely and #nrepl talks!
The first alpha release of #nREPL 1.6 is out https://github.com/nrepl/nrepl/releases/tag/v1.6.0-alpha1
So far it's mostly improvements (simplifications) of the internals, but that's never a bad thing. In my book simplicity and reliability are very strong related. :-)
We've kicked off some efforts to create a proper nREPL protocol specification https://github.com/nrepl/spec.nrepl.org/pull/1
Input and feedback from everyone who uses #nREPL is most welcome!
I'm happy to report that #nREPL 1.5 is out with many small improvements. (see https://github.com/nrepl/nrepl/releases/tag/v1.5.0 for all the details) In this particular release we address several small long-standing issues, so I can only hope everyone's experience with nREPL 1.5 will be a little bit better!
nREPL 0.1 was released 15 years ago (on Oct 8, 2010) and we're still going strong after so many years!
#nREPL is now 15 years old! (it was born in July 2010) Funny enough, I've been the project's steward for ~7.5 years - since the spring of 2018. It was been quite the journey and I'm very happy that nREPL is still as relevant today as it was back in 2010. (and a lot more capable, of course)
The next release (1.4) is just around the corner.
#Clojure forever! In the REPL we trust!
