I want this but for Haskell :-) Maybe some of the amazing work on dataframe[0] and related libraries could be used for a better Haskell REPL in Emacs. I never much liked the notebook way of working, I prefer having a file of functions alongside a REPL, but time-to-graph is bad, and I don't know if there's a good solution to how the REPL forgets previously defined variables on reloading a file.
Bruh can we make emacs, let alone cider, let alone "julia snail", more usable before we brag about achieving something? It's extremely embarrassing how sloppy the emacs experience has gotten in the last thirty years relative to other environments.

What's not usable about it?

You can't scroll without moving the cursor.

It's slow and buggy and difficult to wrangle to the needs of modern text editing yea?
Look I live in emacs. I cannot explain to you why this is such a shitty experience. I assume there are random assholes around the world who are holding emacs back so they can view their email from a repl or some bullshit.

I don't think your complaints are a common experience.
I've used neovim for the last 10 years, but before that I used emacs with R for many years at work and it was great, certainly not slow.

Emacs is certainly capable of speedy editing; i don't mean to imply otherwise. But there isn't much explanation as to why emacs does things the way it does even if it makes the experience shittier.
