Curious: has anyone yet used Hooks to build a state-preserving live editing tool? Reloads are so awful—I'm still hoping for DisplayScript's glorious ability to update the running program on every editor keypress without losing state. :)

That was one of the first things I tried :-) Need to get back to it. In general it's much easier to hot reload than classes because wrapping a function is sufficient. A bit harder to detect when to reset (e.g. if order or type changes).

Right: the ability to swap the function body out but keep the same hook state struck me as promising in the spirit of DisplayScript’s state cells. Here’s hoping!
