There is also a native implementation of Clojure on the Common Language Runtime (CLR) https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr

Do you have a link to the proposal and the discussion? I am quite interested to see the implementation details. Thanks!

Here[1] is a nice breakdown of Zippers in Clojure. I am not the author of the post but I found it very helpful when I wanted to learn more about Zippers in Clojure. There are some nice illustrations as well.

> My Ruby projects often have a wrapper that reloads code and puts me in pry prompt. I can edit code and introspect objects live as the code changes.

That sounds very interesting! Can you please share the wrapper that does all that magic? Thanks!

mruby[1] fits that category too. It can be used with H2O[2] server as well. There was a discussion here a couple of months ago regarding some use cases[3].
