i just dove into clj &amp; cljs w&#x2F;o such a cost-benefit analysis b&#x2F;c after writing some scheme and elisp, it seemed like it would be fun, maybe more fun than js, and for the most part, it has been.<p>good article overall.  a point that was a little irksome was<p>&gt; chrome devtools is way ahead of your cli repl (and even your editor-integrated repl) in <i>a bunch of</i> important ways<p>(emphasis added).  b&#x2F;c while i&#x27;m not saying the devtools is not ahead of figwheel+cider in some sense, enumerating specific want-to-haves would be more informative.<p>my main nice-to-have (and maybe there&#x27;s something out there???) would be a way to set breakpoints for dropping into a repl.  b&#x2F;c of the scarcity of mutable state, it hasn&#x27;t been such a problem, but there have been one of two times where i could&#x27;ve saved a few minutes by throwing a `(debugger)` or something in.
