Cool stuff! HATEOAS [1] for REPLs?

"A [REST] (REBL) client enters a [REST application] (REBL browser) through a [simple fixed URL] (initial EDN [2] data). [All] future actions the client may take are discovered within [resource representations] (metadata) returned [from the server]. The media types used for these representations, and the link relations they may contain, are standardized. The client transitions through application states by selecting from [the links within a representation] (the annotated data) or by manipulating the representation in other ways afforded by its media type. In this way, [RESTful] (REBL) interaction is driven by [hypermedia] (metadata), rather than out-of-band information.
