ptpython VS opendylan

Ptpython reads from a configuration file where we can specify custom keybindings and the REPL colorscheme. The default configuration file can be copied from prompt-toolkit/ptpython/blob/master/examples/ptpython_config/config.py.

If you like using the REPL, for Python I recommend you try https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython

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 use ptpython for my python repl https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython. I find it very convenient because it has a vim mode, and many vim similarities.

A library like ptpython should be what you're looking for, however this probably isn't an option for an exam setting.

create a repl to the standard that ptpython sets for python (both croissant and ilua leave a lot to be desired)

My bad - the >>> and ... in my post are from an interactive shell session. - so there is an implicit print - which is why you see the output.

https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/ptpython is also a good one

Even better than iPython is PTPython, which can be used like a regular python interpreter with cool features.

Yes those were inspired by deuce, here is open dylan's version: https://github.com/dylan-lang/opendylan/tree/master/sources/...

Dylan, which was originally created by Apple: https://opendylan.org/

OpenDylan kept being developed for a long time even after Apple lost interest, and they still do releases every once in a blue moon, but the community is tiny, and nobody is doing anything with Dylan (save for the compiler itself).

what is this fairly close resemblance? Parentheses?

There are a bunch of Lisp like languages without s-expression syntax: Lisp 2, Logo, MDL, RLISP, CLISP (not the CL implementation), Dylan, Racket with its new syntax (Racket2, Rhombus), Skill, ...

For example Dylan is based on Scheme & CLOS + a different syntax + some other influences. https://opendylan.org

If they go with another language, it had damn well better be Dylan. Apple already designed it and screwed up when they abandoned it back then (circa Java).

Carp, Lux and Dale are 3 I'm familiar with.There's also Dylan, though that one dropped its parentheses. But if we go by the brackets, technically, we can argue that any expression-based languages is a Lisp. I once wrote a Lisp to JS transpile whose output had more parens than the input. :)
