JLine VS kscript

If you wanted to give writing a CLI a go yourself from scratch, I recommend searching for Java solutions first. Kotter itself is built on top of https://github.com/jline/jline3

I sit on top of JLine at the very bottom.

Unfortunately, It doesn't work with Intellij terminalsee this issue

Right now REPLy is kind of stuck and it needs to be updated to the latest version of JLine eventually (https://github.com/jline/jline3).

thanks for the reply, we;ve found the jlines library https://github.com/jline/jline3. it has key bindings for key events and a non blocking line reader, but now im stuck on changing it to blocking to read lines in ! for data entry ! thank you again.

You probably want to have a look at kscript. It's fixes the primary issue of kotlin script (uncompetitive startup time) by adding a cache of compiled scripts: https://github.com/kscripting/kscript

There is a community project called kscript, which can execute bare bones kotlin script files. The shebang line for that would be #!/usr/bin/env kscript. While that is one thing which can be done with Kotlin script, it is not its main purpose, its main purpose is to have a script definition in some other Kotlin program which can then execute any Kotlin script following that definition at runtime. See the official tutorial for how a Kotlin program would run such a script.

I think you can run `kscript` on windows but i didn't really tried.check out kscript

How exactly did you install sdk man? Wonder if it's configured correctly with the path. kscript had the sdkman install instructions for kotlin which was a dependency in my project

Cheers to kscript!

I am surprised not to see any mention of kscript https://github.com/holgerbrandl/kscript

and the community-led kscript effort.
