Agreed but my point was that in Emacs the results of your evaluations are "elsewhere" and there is still a separate REPL buffer, even if you actually work by editing a source file and sending expressions from there to the REPL to operate on a "live" image. I believe it was Mark Engelberg who talked about working *in* the REPL and scrolling back through history and modifying and resubmitting previous forms while he was developing his code. I think others have also said they work that way. The objection was voiced (about LightTable) that it's not a natural REPL-based workflow to have code in a source file and "send" it to be evaluated. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
