Interactive REPL

Elide includes an interactive polyglot REPL. Start it explicitly with elide repl, or just run elide on a TTY:

bash

 elide repl

Languages

The REPL evaluates JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python. Use /help inside a session to list the active language, available languages, and supported commands.

Session features

Persistent history — previous input is recalled across sessions.
Meta-commands — /-prefixed session commands (see below).

Meta-commands

Session commands are prefixed with /:

Command	Description
`/help`	List commands and the active/available languages.
`/exit`	Leave the REPL.
`/clear`	Clear the screen.
`/lang`	Switch the active language.
`/js`, `/ts`, `/py`	With no argument, switch to that language; with an argument, evaluate it once in that language without changing the active language.
`/export`	Export a binding to the polyglot bindings (`Polyglot.export`, or Python `polyglot.export_value`).
`/import`	Import a polyglot binding into the current language.
`/history [N]`	Show the last `N` history entries (default 20).
`/reset`	Wipe the durable history store (the in-session arrow-up history is kept).

The repl command itself takes no CLI flags.
