codi.vim VS sniprun

This looks fantastic. I will definitely give it a spin. I've been tracking what I call "computational scratchpad" apps for a while now but haven't found one that fits my environment/workflow yet. Maybe Heynote will. Here are some others that I've looked at:

* https://soulver.app Granddad of them all, Mac-only, proprietary, expensive

* https://numi.app Mac-only, proprietary, semi-expensive. Has a Github and claims to be MIT-licensed but I don't see how you could build a working application with what's in the repo.

* https://calca.io Windows- and Mac-only, proprietary, not expensive, nice docs.

* https://notepadcalculator.com Web-based, not open source, hosted but uses local storage. You can optionally create an account to sign in and have your notes saved in plaintext on his server.

* https://github.com/bbodi/notecalc3 Web-based, open source, self-hostable. But it seems to save your document in the URL string itself, which means the URL gets updated with almost every keystroke. Worth it for quick calculations and very small notes, I guess.

* https://numpad.io Web-based, hosted, not open source. Also stores entire doc in URL, but doesn't update the URL bar the whole time you're typing.

* https://numbr.dev/ Web-based, hosted. Has a Github but is not open source and the repo does not have all the bits needed to self-host it. Stores entire doc in URL.

* https://github.com/metakirby5/codi.vim Vim/NeoVim plugin that is less like a "smart notepad" and more like Jupyter but with results printed on the right side of the screen instead of in a cell below. Supports lots of programming languages.

codi.vim

What about https://github.com/metakirby5/codi.vim ? It's blazingly fast

Install codi, then add the configuration (while PR is pending acceptance): https://github.com/metakirby5/codi.vim/pull/159/commits/c71e5a1fc17f928daaf0c2ef9dd26d613e946403

Codi is an interactive scratchpad which outputs the result in real time.

maybe codi.nvim or lab.nvim

It sounds like this is comparable to something like codi, what's the main difference between this and that?

If you want to compile/run specific lines of code (not the whole project), my plugin sniprun should be worth a look

If I understand currently this https://github.com/michaelb/sniprun plugin should do the trick for you.

I can't speak for the two above plugins (I shall try them!), but... While I'm developing in Lua, I like to use michaelb's sniprun. I'll just build my tests inside the file I'm working on, and see my outputs update live within the buffer as I edit.

REPL??? Do you have a very-easy-to-use way of running and testing your code? From vim-slime to nvim sniprun to autocommands with the built in terminal, to an external repl like ptpython (for python obviously). iron.nvim and conjure are two other neovim repl plugins. There are many ways of running the code that you're working on, and having something that makes this really easy for you is pretty essential. (sometimes I use inotifytools on linux to literally just run the script every time I save it.)

I'm glad for the reminder about sniprun, I had it bookmarked but not categorized well enough and forgot about it.

Install SnipRun

A similar plugin that comes to mind is sniprun.
