OK yeah this looks good. Was expecting a tech demo but this is such a sales pitch glorifying a pretty common solution to a pretty common problem. The Intro on eval result not being a data is something that I don't get. If it's not data then what is it? Atleast what is it for the thing that's presenting it? All these while the folks were flaunting how awesome the REPL experience has been and suddenly Stu gives a small intro on how painful it is to eval a code. Just to glorify how awesome this REBL wud be? . I generally love most talks from clj community but not this one.

For an example - while technically a set of all prime numbers is data - you can't just view it in the REPL as a whole. So I interpret the "not data" notion as a shortcut to saying - a subset of data and optionally some way to navigate throgh the rest of it.

Unwritten rule of HN is that, one must be a blind supporter of anything clojure, Haskell and must be a blind hater of anything java, Javascript. Downvoters:care to provide reasons??

It's probably the accusational tone and sweeping generalisation coupled with the absence of proof, data, or at least examples to back it up. Also, it doesn't even tangentially touch on the actual subject of the post.
