Take what can use, no take what no can use. Video demos of two contrasting workflows Presented at the SciCloj visual-tools meeting no. 32 (more at clojureverse). Mine is a complete contrast to the one by m'friend, colleague, Clojure nerd, and all-round mensch, Kapil Reddy. First, Kapil (begins at ~15m 50s): How he LLMs / MCPs with ClojureScript and Clojure. Next, I (begins at ~46m 50s): Keeping it Old-Tool: REPL habits of a grug-brained Clojurist. Summary opinion for my demo nb. Somewhat biased toward JVM Clojure, which I use.
