Cool to see these pair programming products coming out recently. Party Reply is very cool as well.

What's Party Reply? Is that another tool of Repl.it in autocorrect? Googled but didn't find much
I think it's a reference to multi-player clojure REPL in Atom. I haven't looked too deeply but from what I can gather it uses Atom Teletype for the editing and they figured out how to connect to the same Clojure REPL server.

It's pretty cool and it addresses a need that we've found missing as well -- live code editing is half the feature, what's also important, is that the REPL state be synced. It's a coincidence that we both picked the same name!
Party REPL is a multi-party Clojure REPL. The authors just gave a great talk on it last week at Clojure/Conj: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJING0Vigpg Even if you're not into Clojure, it has a lot on the internals of a multi-party REPL and VS Code.
In addition to sharing code and a REPL, it also allows you to collaboratively edit HTML, CSS, web pages, etc. Really cool talk!
