I think if you're writing in a functional style the repl is more of a win. The things you're writing/testing tend to be smaller, more self- contained, not as much stateful setup. Change a function, evaluate in the repl, test it with a few different inputs, make some more changes, re-evaluate, re-test etc. It's not so much that you're presented with a situation and you think "this calls for a repl!", it's that your general workflow is different. Not trivial at all. - Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
