NAME

REPL - a more easily configurable REPL

SYNOPSIS

use REPL;

# Start a repl
repl;

The REPL module is a re-imagining of the REPL functionality as offered by Rakudo before the 2024.11 release.

The following goals have been defined so far:

Adherence to supporting currently by the REPL logic recognized environment variables
Provide an actual REPL class that can be easily configured and provide documentation on how this can be done.
Attempt to fix many outstanding bugs about the Rakudo REPL.
Provided better documented and better maintainable code that is based on "modern" Raku
Once the API for customization is more stable, replace the REPL code in Rakudo with the code in this module.

This is very much a work in progress. All previously supported line editors (Readline, Linenoise and Terminal::LineEditor are now supported.
