every time i go back to writing non-clojure code outside of repl-driven environment i feel like a cave man banging rocks against each other

no amount of ide smartness or agentic shenanigans is going to replace the feeling of having development process in sync with your thought process

You just made me wonder if REPL driven development and LLMs can be better combined somehow.
This is already a strong theme in the Clojure ecosystem, e.g.:

I use a REPL in tmux. That lets Claude code read/write to it easily, as well as letting me take manual control to investigate.
