    It would be great if the Phel repl could connect to a running PHP process

      Phel has deep PHP interop built into the language: call any PHP function, instantiate classes, access globals via the php/ namespace from anywhere in your code.

      We also ship a Phel nREPL: a bencode-over-TCP server (phel nrepl) compatible with editor tooling like Calva, CIDER, and Conjure. Connect your editor and evaluate Phel code against a running process directly.

      Great work on this release! Glad to see the dot-separated namespace syntax being standardized in the core.

        Phel compiles a Clojure-flavoured Lisp to PHP. v0.36.0 ships exact rationals (1/2 literals), arbitrary-precision BigInteger with overflow auto-promotion, BigDecimal, first-class Vars (#'sym, alter-var-root, with-redefs, watches), and new value types (UUID, Queue, MapEntry). Plus REPL and test boot are notably faster.

        • "inspired by clojure" - is there a better signal for good taste and quality?

            Inspired by PHP :^)

            Just kidding, even though I both love Clojure & PHP.
