Pluto.jl is nice, but it has its own limitations (you cannot sequentially modify a variable like you would in a script) and is not suitable for developing a package. Here I was talking about the workflow of developing a module, in the old fashioned way of writing in a text editor and experimenting in an interactive terminal session. For that, Revise is not enough and I keep having to restart the session whenever I touch a struct or a global constant. I don’t even know why they are treated differently from functions; it seems to me that it should be more difficult to update/delete functions. When working on a script, Revise.includet is pretty useless: it doesn’t redefine any data, it only updates functions, so you have to use include anyway.
