The lisp model of programming is generally: write a function, evaluate it, interactively call it with some arguments, iterate. Jupyter notebooks are similar. Why not automatically evaluate definitions (not expressions) whilst working? It seems like it could be a satisfying way to work with code.

Tried `just` (the task runner) today, and I really like it. npm has scripts, but `just` works anywhere. Editor integration is also excellent: you can get by with Makefile highlighting, but in Emacs you can even run everything interactively! https://github.com/casey/just

This article discusses how you often need #'foo rather than foo in Clojure code so you can redefine foo whilst testing your app interactively: https://srasu.srht.site/var-evaluation.html Perhaps function pointers should evaluate to themselves? I wonder if there's a language solution here.
