How can you use an interpreted language and not Emacs?
This just puzzled me. I recently found out that you can't run a REPL in VIM.
OK, so how do you use interpreted languages if you use VIM?
C-c C-l, C-c C-e, etc is kind of the whole point no?
Don't you miss a lot of practicality there?
With Python the editor/interpreter that comes with Python is pretty good so I can see how.
Or do you use Eclipse or Netbeans? Do you think it is ok to run a repl in them?
- collint 18y agoYes, this really helps me make the decision to use emacs. There is a lot of useful information in this post for a non-emacs user. I am not being sarcastic.
- SwellJoe 18y agoYou fail it. ("it" is: providing a cohesive statement, not trying to a start yet another editor flame war, and not looking like a jackass who doesn't know how Google works.)
- weavejester 18y agoLook up Chimp, Soma, slime.vim, fvl, VIlisp, Limp, or Vim-R. Hacking Vim to send text to a REPL isn't that hard, though it does require some setup.
- globalrev 18y agoOK so it is doable, good.
