I’ve been suffering from this for a while, and had to just workaround by using println in dev for a while … although, seeing your post inspired me to re-investigate the issue again in my environment, because when I first started the project it was working. I messed around with a lot of different require combinations …

I was finally able to get `cast/dev` to actually work again in my local environment, once I removed my require call for `datomic.dev-local`, something in requiring that was interfering with my cast logging. After discovering that, I was able to still require `datomic.dev-local` so long as **BOTH** the cast init call _AND_ a single/first call to `cast/dev` was made before requiring dev-local.

Do you think this is the same thing affecting you as well?? Either way, sounds like dev-local OR datomic.ion.cast might have some kind of bug that doesn’t allow them to play well … (unless I’m doing something wrong)
