[[!template text="""In most cases, yes, but for some languages,""" start="00:00:56.840" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""we have some white spaces, some missing pieces.""" start="00:00:59.921" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""Let's see.""" start="00:01:16.680" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""We know that Emacs is very good for Lisps and REPL.""" start="00:01:18.180" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Lisp and Emacs should be a perfect setup.""" start="00:01:22.840" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""But let's see how REPL basically works.""" start="00:01:26.040" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""It's an event loop which does three things.""" start="00:01:30.080" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""It reads an expression, it evaluates the expression,""" start="00:01:34.800" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and it prints the result.""" start="00:01:37.280" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""We can take a simple expression, input it into REPL,""" start="00:01:40.740" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and evaluate it and see the result.""" start="00:01:47.280" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Very nice, very convenient.""" start="00:01:48.960" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""You can experiment and see immediately what is happening.""" start="00:01:50.820" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""You can even run a long-running process""" start="00:01:55.340" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""which does something.""" start="00:01:57.760" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""You can interrupt it and everything will be okay.""" start="00:01:58.920" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""But the problem appears""" start="00:02:07.200" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""when you start to develop a bigger project.""" start="00:02:08.640" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And in most cases, you don't do""" start="00:02:11.660" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""your whole development in REPL.""" start="00:02:14.240" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""You do only a small part of it.""" start="00:02:16.400" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""In most cases, you just write""" start="00:02:18.461" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""the source code in text files,""" start="00:02:20.680" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and after that, you run those snippets of code""" start="00:02:22.920" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""from those text files, or run the whole project.""" start="00:02:26.400" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""It's not very convenient to copy and paste""" start="00:02:30.721" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""every time the snippets of code to the REPL,""" start="00:02:33.720" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""see the result, modify the snippet of code,""" start="00:02:36.040" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""copy it again, and so on.""" start="00:02:38.880" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So people invented some integration""" start="00:02:41.200" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""between REPL and your text editor.""" start="00:02:44.040" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""So you can evaluate expressions inside your text editor""" start="00:02:46.080" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and see the result here.""" start="00:02:51.600" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""Works good so far, but what happens""" start="00:02:53.720" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""if we run a long-lasting loop,""" start="00:02:56.680" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""which does a lot of operations.""" start="00:03:02.300" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""As you can see here with a simple example,""" start="00:03:05.000" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""the output of the function,""" start="00:03:07.840" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""and the resulting value is here.""" start="00:03:16.760" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""If you run a long-running process,""" start="00:03:18.800" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""you don't see anything happening.""" start="00:03:22.360" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And you see there's a watch instead of my cursor.""" start="00:03:24.640" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Maybe you don't see it, but nothing actually happens,""" start="00:03:29.260" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""at least from the point of view of the user.""" start="00:03:33.720" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""But if we interrupt the evaluation,""" start="00:03:36.380" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""we will see that some process in the background""" start="00:03:38.400" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""was launched, but we didn't see anything.""" start="00:03:41.440" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Because the REPL is a single-threaded blocking process,""" start="00:03:44.240" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""which reads stdin and prints stdout,""" start="00:03:51.040" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""make the integration""" start="00:03:54.320" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""between the REPL and your text editor""" start="00:03:55.680" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""is not an easy task.""" start="00:03:58.541" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""And even if you do it,""" start="00:04:02.920" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""you have a lot of downsides, usually.""" start="00:04:04.321" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""First of all, the process is not interruptible.""" start="00:04:07.600" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""If you have a remote process which listens on the socket""" start="00:04:13.680" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""to which you connect from your development environment,""" start="00:04:18.480" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""and you run some infinite loop, for example,""" start="00:04:21.940" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""you can't interrupt it.""" start="00:04:25.480" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Because interruption is done via signals,""" start="00:04:28.300" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""the thing in such integrations.""" start="00:04:35.040" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Output is also not interactive.""" start="00:04:38.760" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""Usually, for example, here you can see""" start="00:04:41.160" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""when I evaluate the expression,""" start="00:04:45.320" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""the output is captured on the evaluation side,""" start="00:04:47.800" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""Okay, what else?""" start="00:05:17.040" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template new="1" text="""When you do such integrations, you have no protocol,""" start="00:05:23.160" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""you have just stdin and stdout.""" start="00:05:26.120" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
[[!template text="""You print to stdin from your text editor.""" start="00:05:29.760" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]

[[!template text="""It's hard to tell if evaluation is finished,""" start="00:05:36.680" video="mainVideo-scheme" id="subtitle"]]
