> I think I need something more emacs-based

Numen [1] is an Emacs REPL we wrote for Parenscript + Node.js a few years ago. The version that's up on Github works with a different Lisp called Lumen [2] that compiles to JS and Lua, which we created partly as a Parenscript successor (it's self-hosted) but mostly as an experiment in a table-oriented Lisp [3,4]. But the differences between that REPL and the Parenscript one are trivial, and I can put the PS REPL up if anyone's interested. We still have plenty of code in Parenscript—including a Chrome extension we wrote to support HN moderation—so I use it every day.

Totally did not see that one coming. Great to know Lisp is still strong within HN infrastructure! Thanks for the links and please put ParenScript REPL on-line :).
