REBL
summary
REBL is a graphical, interactive browser for Clojure data extracted from Datomic tools that uses Clojure 1.10’s datafy and nav protocols plus metadata to make non-data eval results navigable and composable. It demonstrates that most evals are data (~95%) but the surprising ~5% break tooling, and introduces APIs to recover scissors (standard data operations). REBL is an in-process Java-based master/detail app integrated via Preval, works with Datomic by adding about 15 lines to add nav support, and the demo ultimately succeeds.
