How to Make Coding Fun in JavaScript (Almost Like in Clojure)

SMRTR summary

JavaScript coding can be made interactive and enjoyable like Clojure with a proper REPL setup. While Node.js's default REPL lacks practicality, using the Conjure plugin in Neovim enables direct code evaluation in the editor. This shortens development cycles by allowing developers to test functions, debug instantly, and explore libraries like RXJS without switching between editor and terminal. The immediate feedback loop makes coding more engaging and produces cleaner, more reliable code through quick experimentation and refinement.
