Hi Jay,
thanks for the report.  I only have few doubts about REPL making TDD to shame. 

I'm not a TDD practitioner, but I would not be so "tranchant" with it. 

The REPL is great, that's for sure, but IMHO it does not relegate TDD 
feedback/loop in a niche, because you can complement one with the other. 

I'm a fan of http://www.youtube.com/user/Misophistful?feature=watch stuff. he's 
able to be very clear and deep at the same time and if you take a look at his 
screencasts you would see that he uses both the REPL and the TDD at the same 
time. And he uses both unit test and simple-check tests as well. 

It is true that at  the moment the feedback-loop in clojurescript is not 
feasible, but the REPL experience with cljs has to be improved too to make it 
comparable with the clj REPL experience (at least with a nREPL compliant 
editor/ide).

Cheers

mimmo
