This was referring to the LLMs' tendency to blat out hundreds of tokens into a single tool call, not to Clojure.

I don't think I'm missing the point. LLMs don't use Python's REPL because it's not that efficient, while properly built harness will eagerly utilize Clojure REPL if given a chance. Without "blating out hundreds of tokens".

You replied to my remark about the token efficiency of a behavior I've observed LLMs
