Atom, Chlorine, and Cognitect's REBL

I found this very eye-opening in a couple of respects.

  1. Chlorine is totally capable as a Clojure plugin. I’ve been encouraging my undergrad students to learn Clojure. I think in the future I might change my default recommendation from Spacemacs to Atom.

  2. Although I haven’t doubted that REBL is a useful tool, I’ve struggled to connect it to my daily workflow in a compelling way. In particular, I didn’t realize that you could send REPL results there in addition to having a regular REPL connected. Very cool. Also, the combination of a solid system definition, generated data (presumably from spec), and REBL was even more compelling.

Lastly, for continuity’s sake, here’s a forward link to Sean’s post about his second screencast.
