GP said “scripts”. But no, VSCode certainly doesn’t have that level of interactivity. On the other hand, the single-threadedness of Emacs is very annoying though.

Edit: My usage of Emacs has been reduced to mostly just magit and dired since ~2017, so I didn’t realize Emacs 26 added threads. Is it actually widely adopted? Things I do use these days, like package.el, are clearly still blocking.

This is not correct. Use of the CLJS REPL to insert strings is even demonstrated in the video.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear about it but I was talking about extension capabilities offered by stock VSCode. There’s nothing stopping third party extensions like Joyride from exposing the extension API in an REPL.
