Visual-tools meeting 32: Workflow Demos 6: old-school tools, REPL, Emacs, Org-mode, AI, MCP, & more

On 2025-03-26, the Clojure visual-tools group had its 32th meeting. This was the sixth of a series of meetings where people would demonstrate their Clojure workflows with different tools.

Nine people attended.

Brief summary

We had two mind-opening demos:

  • @adi - Keeping it Old-Tool: REPL habits of a grug-brained Clojurist
  • @kapil - Vibe coding with Clojurescript and Clojure

Each provided a thoughtful mix of workflow practices and ideas. The REPL, Emacs, Org-mode, LLMs, Aider, and MCP were a few of the topics discussed.
We also had a long and thoughtful discussion afterwards, some of which was recorded.

A few additional resources will be shared here in the comments in a day or two.

For the text chat, see the topic thread at the Clojurians Zulip chat: #visual-tools>meeting 32.
