RoslynPad VS CSharpRepl

First - follow instruction in official Git account https://github.com/roslynpad/roslynpad:

Sometimes i use roslynpad to check some code sentences quickly at my work. I think u could use it for practise, its a really simple C# editor. https://roslynpad.net/

RoslynPad is similar but not quite as good. https://roslynpad.net/

RoslynPad:

if you clone roslynpad (https://github.com/aelij/RoslynPad) you can find samples. It already deploys with Roslyn (the runtime C# compiler) which helps a bit with integration.

There is RoslynPad but you have to build yourself on Mac OS.

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?

not to mention ruby, python, php, lua

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

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.
