I think repl usefulness is a function of coding style. Can't comment on Scala (never used it), but in Clojure a function I can't test in the repl is usually a code smell. If it requires too much setup, lots of predefined state, etc. then I've usually written a function that should be refactored. No snark intended but I'd be interested to know how many of the opinions being expressed here are based on actual experience, rather than theorising. - Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
