REBL: Has anyone seen this?
After watching this talk from Stuart Halloway, I wonder how cool would it be to implement the general idea with Elixir.

Could you add more info please @imetallica ? What is ‘REBL’? Any other sites/resources you could link to with further info?

Not everyone has the time to sit down and watch half an hour of a random talk that has nothing been said about.
Therefore its always nice to provide a short description about the talk itself.

As it so happens, I have a TL;DW for it.
TL;DW, In Clojure, new protocol datafy (make this thing data) + new protocol nav (go somewhere) + allowing protocols to be implemented on instances of data as metadata permit what they call REBL which is “Read Eval Browse Loop”, to be able to browse in a consistent, lazy manner across things like Clojure data, and java class info, and namespaces, and web pages, and info in Datomic, etc.
Several people have likened it to smalltalk’s interactive dev environment.

Good summary.
I could be wrong, but I think that the point of datafy isn’t to turn something into a REPL-inspectable format, it’s to turn something opaque-ish (like a Java class) to less opaque, plain ol’ Clojure data (ie. maps and vectors) that can then be used by a some other thing in Clojure, which could potentially be a renderer.
