Inline Evaluation Adventure
has been around for a long time, but not every programmer has had the chance to use it. If you haven’t, this is an opportunity to try it.
I have observed decisions by language designers, programming architecture advocates, and tool builders that directly ignore or impede this type of interactivity—a situation I find genuinely unfortunate. Clojure programmers—and others who use similar evaluation capabilities—apply this technique daily in professional settings, from data pipelines powering major retailers to the video streaming services you likely use yourself. My argument isn’t that Clojure or Lisp is inherently superior to other languages, but that inline evaluation is incredibly valuable and deserves wider adoption across programming environments.
