Re: [ANN] lua-repl 0.2

[Xavier Wang <weasley.wx@...>]

I prefer lua-repl has a plugin-framework as fast as it can. it makes someone write plugin to implement ideas in IDEAS.md.

you can use Serpent[1] to do pretty print. maybe you can use curses (or other ones?) to do console syntax highlight. and you can make command-line-filter (meta-cmdline, just like e.g. !xxx call os.execute 'xxx'), all that things need a plugin framework :-)

Hi everyone!

I'm pleased to announce the latest release of lua-repl: version 0.2!

lua-repl 0.2 introduces a linenoise implementation (which rep.lua now
uses if it can), along with tab completion and history support.  If you
want to make use of the linenoise implementation, please install the
linenoise rock first.

Sources are here:

The rock isn't up (yet), but it should be here soon:
