Recommended as a must-watch Conj talk and as the intro for people who haven't seen REBL, often compared to Jupyter-style tooling.

Stuart Halloway introduces REBL, a graphical, interactive tool for browsing Clojure data, extracted from Datomic tools. The talk is from Clojure/conj 2018.

“People who have not heard of the REBL, can check out this video” (HN, 2021)
