Ilemming doesn't seem to care about the UI to the REPL. They simply don't care about REPLs at all. At least that's what I understand from:

> I almost never type directly in the REPL, even when I have it in my IDE

I agree that it's more comfortable to be able to send forms from your editor to be evaled somewhere else, I myself don't use the CLI REPL very much, but since I use vim-fireplace, I guess my REPL is in the terminal anyways.

Since it wasn't clear in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22193862 what language iLemming uses or have experience with REPLs, I just wanted them to clarify.

Sorry my bad, I should've probably clarified that I meant Lisp REPLs specifically.
