"Enhancing LLM Powered Development with Clojure's REPL" by Colin Fleming

Anyone who has tried to use a Large Language Model (LLM) for development has discovered that it's an iterative process, with many parallels to how we use our REPLs when working with Clojure. In this talk, we'll explore how to enhance this experience through a deep integration with our editor via the REPL. We'll leverage the editor to provide relevant, project-specific context to improve AI-assisted coding. Clojure's REPL serves as the perfect interface for this development style, allowing us to interactively guide and refine LLM responses before integrating them back into the project. You'll see many examples of practical techniques for augmenting the coding process with AI, while maintaining the interactive and flexible development experience we all know and love.
