Conj always makes me so envious. So many good talks. This one, the Rich Hickey one on Maybe, the Stuart Halloway one on REBL. Any other must watches? Hickey: [LINK] Halloway: [VIDEO]

This is real neat. However, I tend to use Cursive and REBL. I think that's some of the coolest development environment I ever used. People who have not heard of the REBL, can check out this video: [VIDEO] > REBL is a graphical, interactive tool for browsing Clojure data.

I think ipython/jupyter notebooks are more analogous to Clojure's REBL[0][1], which is very cool but not nearly as mature. [0]: [LINK] [1]: [VIDEO]
