> I can deploy my work-in-progress apps to a staging machine with a repl server built in. I can let it run in a testing environment indefinitely, and use Emacs to connect to a live REPL that I can use to rummage around in the running app, inspect and edit variables, types, and functions, and generally do anything I would do if it were running in my normal dev environment.

Not the GP. Thanks for the comment, I always find your comments about your experiences with Lisp insightful... But I'm curious, does/can this lead to situations where colleagues are stepping on each others toes in the live environments?

Yes, sure. Don't do that. :)

If you're going to test that way, you want to have your own staging environment, distinct from other developers', just like you don't want two different people's unit tests writing to the same test data as they run their tests (unless that kind of race condition is exactly what you're testing, of course).
