InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
Something I've been thinking a lot about for Rust is what can and should a REPL experience be for a compiled language (ie what are reasonable compromises).
There seem to be two repls that haven't gotten much traction:
- https://github.com/google/evcxr/blob/main/evcxr_repl/README....
- https://github.com/sigmaSd/IRust
There have been little and big nits that have held me back from wanting to push these further, including
- Bad defaults (having to opt-in to panic handling)
- Command syntax feeling out of place and likely not beginner friendly
- Limits on variable preservation
- Lack of introspection (at least irust as `:type`)
So far I've been punting on wanting to improve this area by instead focusing on polishing up a rust script solution in the hopes of getting it merged: https://github.com/epage/cargo-script-mvs

True, the CL REPL is more useful than the Clojure REPL, but CL has a 20-30 year head start in development. Plus, Clojure was developed as a hosted language, and runs on .NET, Javascript, JVM, and even Dart (in-progress).
Since exceptions are quite deeply integrated into those platforms (as opposed to conditions), it has "bled through" to the Clojure APIs, and, in turn, REPL.
Folks have written a CL-style condition/restart library for Clojure (https://github.com/IGJoshua/farolero) too.
