As the co-creator here I'd like to add that Joyride is taking the very first baby steps here. We hope a lot of people want to try it and provide feedback to inform our next steps.

NB: The video has a target audience of people who know Clojure and its strengths. Especially how the REPL is used. I hope HN will see beyond the parens. =) It should make some sense anyway. Especially if you have some Emacs scripting experience, because that is where most of the inspiration to Joyride comes from.

Do you ever sleep? Seriously; your productivity is insane.

Tbh, the last nights have been less about sleep and more about hacking on Joyride. =)

But usually I do get sleep. The question we should ask is if borkdude sleeps? He's doing about 100X as much as I do. Maybe there are hundreds of borkdudes.

Well, that goes without saying. We all know that borkdude is a robot.

Both you and borkdude are productivity beasts (of the kindest variety) in my mind :)

Fantastic work on the extension. In terms of ideas for next steps, my suggestion would be to consider automating the process of creating and invoking cljs files. One big use I can see for this is creating ad hoc scripts to do stuff in the editor. If you could pop up an editor via some shortcut that would allow you to create a script and bind it to a shortcut, that would make using Joyride really seamless.
