REPL-Driven Development – Clojure's Superpower

Sean Corfield (https://github.com/seancorfield) will be presenting his talk: "Everyone talks about RDD but what it is really?" In this we'll explore

• Why is Clojure’s REPL not like other languages’ REPLs?
• Can you really develop an application “live”?
• What about restarts, refreshes?
• Don’t I need special, magical tooling for this?

This talk will show you how fundamental Clojure’s REPL is to core Clojure development, and how to build a web application, live, from your editor, with no restarts, no refreshes, just simple, basic tooling.

Clojure’s REPL is truly its superpower: it lets you hold your application in your hand, query it, modify it, evolve it, form it to your exact shape with precision and control with just a basic set of tools and an understanding of what “REPL-friendly development” means.

Sean Corfield used to build compilers, virtual machines, databases and
telecom systems but eventually got a real job building web
applications. After eight years of ANSI C++ Standardization and a
decade of web development with JVM-based languages, he finally found
his first love again - functional programming - and for the last
decade he has written Clojure almost every day.
