cling VS ConEmu

> 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?

not to mention ruby, python, php, lua

hell even c++ has a janky repl https://github.com/root-project/cling

Want to see your mind blown? Check out cling, a (sort of) C and C++ interpreter (it's a REPL). Or the work in progress, live-developed clauf, a real C interpreter.

Wanting to just test pure c or c++ functions that are hardware independent -> (solution that I'm using): cling just in time compiler, gives a shell that you can just experiment with C++ expressions

C++ source cannot contain a shebang, but you can make them executable with binfmt-misc, and have the kernel pass them to a C++ interpreter such as Cling upon execution. Pretty much the same as running Python or Bash scripts.

On Windows 7 your best bet is to install a modern terminal emulator like ConEmu: https://conemu.github.io/

and thats why I love ConEmu

On my work system I have local admin but Windows Store is blocked by policy. One of my coworkers over on the DBA team had me install ConEmu which has some nice features similar to to Windows Terminal. Also, Posh-Git is a nice addition to have on top.

Conemu if your a fan of that quake style terminal and tabbed terminals

If you do, try out this thing; https://conemu.github.io/

ConEmu will get you tabs. I run CMD, POSH, Notepad++, PuTTY etc. in one window. Plus Doom-style HUD!

ConEmu

Moving on to software, we have the Windows Terminal. I used ConEmu with Powershell until I found Windows Terminal easier to use. And after enabling Windows Subsystem for Linux on my PC, I use it with Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. I replaced bash with Z shell, and with the plugin oh-my-zsh, it's easy to make command-line magic.
