Feedback and the REPL - Understanding Interactive Programming Tools

Explore the impact of feedback loops on programmers and discover the potential of the REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) in this 32-minute conference talk from Conf42 JavaScript 2022. Delve into a brief history of programming feedback loops, understanding how fast feedback enhances productivity while slow feedback hinders progress. Witness a practical demonstration of the REPL, an often overlooked interactive programming tool, and learn how it can boost happiness and efficiency for developers. While the demonstration focuses on JavaScript, the insights shared are valuable for programmers of all languages and skill levels. Gain a fresh perspective on improving your coding workflow and maximizing productivity through faster feedback mechanisms.
