I find re.pl more than just an usable REPL and considering its a lot younger project than IPython then I'd have to say its progressed/progressing extremely well.
- Xurinos 16y agoThis is a good list to progress towards: http://vmathew.in/lisp-repl.html http://vmathew.in/lisp-repl.html
- viraptor 16y agoNo sympathy there, unfortunately. IPython started in 2005 and was very usable shortly after. Actually, it was more usable then, than Devel::REPL is now. Devel::REPL is now 3 years old (released first cpan version, 1.0 in 2007) and I really can't defend it. It's just not on the same level yet. Even Zoidberg is better in some ways, but it didn't provide nice enough access to Perl syntax the last time I tried it.
- draegtun 16y agoNo need to defend or provide any sympathy because I find Devel::REPL to be a great REPL and it fulfils all my needs. I've used REPL's in Ruby (irb), Io, Rakudo and Clojure and IMHO Devel::REPL is no where near the bottom of this list! BTW, a couple of points: * Zoidberg is a shell clone (ala Bash, Korn, csh, zsh) and is more akin to projects/products like psh (http://sourceforge.net/projects/psh http://sourceforge.net/projects/psh). While there are overlaps Zoidberg isn't really a full REPL (like Devel::REPL, PerlConsole or even Perl::Shell). * Devel::REPL started as a blog post in April 2007 (http://chainsawblues.vox.com/library/post/a-perl-read-excute-print-loop-repl.html http://chainsawblues.vox.com/library/post/a-perl-read-excute...). It may have been called version 1.0 but it was just an proof of concept at this time.
