Curious what that would look like - and if javascript, ruby would benefit equally?

How do you work with LLM and repl?



On a side note, for other helix users, I found two approaches to improve repl interaction from helix:

https://github.com/a3lem/replink

https://github.com/waddie/nrepl.hx


When I say REPL, I specifically mean "Lisp REPL". Every step in Read.Eval.Print.Loop slightly differs in homoiconic languages like Clojure, CL, Fennel, Elisp, etc. Javascript and Ruby in that sense can only "benefit" if they have a homoiconic language on top - e.g. Clojurescript.


How so? I don't think anyone would consider Smalltalk to be homoiconic? But would consider it to support a repl-like development process?

Smalltalk has system images - which AFAIK clojure lacks (as does python, ruby).

I wonder if it would be possible to pair python ZODB with storing python code alongside the pickled objects... And effectively create an unholy image-like workflow with IPython and ZODB?

But at any rate, I was more curious about how you mix repl, clojure and LLMs in practice?
