Do you have REPL both for background and content scripts?

I tried to use clojurescript for Chrome extensions few years ago but failed to configure fast reload cycle (either repl or figwheel).

No. In fact, the development cycle on this was pretty awful - due to browser extensions' strict CSP, I couldn't even compile the CLJS with {:optimizations :none}, so every code change took ~20 seconds to recompile.

Do you know any good resources on REPL-driven ClojureScript development? Preferably with a REPL that lives in the page environment so that browser variables etc. can be accessed.

Chromex-sample (https://github.com/binaryage/chromex-sample) mentions :optimizations :none and figwheel support (but with disabled repl), but I didn't try it yet.

Interesting, looks like they got :optimizations :none to work for background scripts but not content scripts (which makes sense). Figwheel support sounds great, I'll look into adding that to Looped In.
