CSharpRepl VS utop

The C# REPL I'm talking about is simply called... C# REPL. It's an open-source project created by Will Fuqua, and as of today, it has over 2k GitHub stars. It is distributed as a .NET tool and is cross-platform. In this blog post, I'm going to show you how to install it on Windows Terminal, but you can install it on any terminal emulator you prefer.

> The repl driven workflow is amazing and the lisp images are rock solid and highly performant.

do people not realize that basically everything vm/interpreted language has a repl these days?

Let me introduce you to my lord and savior https://github.com/waf/CSharpRepl

Not the answer you’re looking for, but I haven’t been able to run LinqPad since I moved to Mac OS. Polyglot notebooks plug-in for VS Code comes very close to LinqPad, or if you don’t mind Terminal/CommandLine csharprepl is amazing.

For REPLs, there are options like (my own) https://github.com/waf/CSharpRepl which stand on top of the Roslyn compiler infrastructure, which is quite extensive and can easily evaluate standalone functions and statements.

It's still nowhere close to the REPLs of lisp and smalltalk, but it's a step in a more flexible direction.

You can also (and should!) familiarize yourself with utop. From utop, you can see the types of just about anything.

You should probably file a ticket on the utop repo rather than mentioning it here: https://github.com/ocaml-community/utop

To write OCaml code, I sat up Neovim by following this guide. For my repl needs, I used Utop. Whenever I needed to insert multiple lines, I used Utop's $editor integration which could be opened by C-x C-e.

I'm going to leave this here. It's a great toplevel for OCaml.
