Hi Julia & Emacs users, I wrote a minor mode for starting and interacting with a Julia REPL from Emacs. It basically uses term, and defers to the Julia REPL for almost everything. The main reason for using this instead of ESS is that some packages, in particular Gallium and ASTinterpreter, require a more capable terminal. You get completion and other extras of the Julia REPL for free.
You can find it at https://github.com/tpapp/julia-repl If there is interest, I would be happy to submit it to MELPA, just file an issue. Best, Tamas Papp
