I'd need to see numbers to back up a claim

Well, that’s the beginning of the 1.10 cycle so there’s plenty of time for changes - I just want to hear something on the subject from Rich/Cognitect.

I’m not excited by the prospect of supporting 20 different REPLs in CIDER one day…

Prepl is first cut material at the moment (while I don’t expect it, in the past some first cut have been rollbacked or greatly reworked). Having prepl may also benefit unrepl (tapping infrastructure, maybe a prepl loop for cljs/jvm). prepl+custom outfn can be used to create a limited unrepl (not sure it’s worth it for the base case).

Also unrepl is the only repl where the client is in control! (That’s for @bozhidar 20 repls anxiety).

hehe

Well, that’s why I’m more excited about supporting it, than about dealing with prepl, but we’ll see.

Unfortunately the effort to support 2 and 20 REPLs seems comparable to me, when you’ve hardcoded so many things with respect to supporting just 1. 😄
