My setting involves running an ansi-term inside Emacs, then running a screen session in it, and then starting julia. I have a nice REPL environment there, with auto-completion, arrow keys, reverse search, etc. plus being able to change from line mode to char mode when I want to copy-paste stuff from/to other buffers. What I miss from the ansi-term is that I cannot keep the whole interaction in the buffer, which I grew accustomed to rely on when running a regular shell inside Emacs. To illustrate, when running something that generates a lot of output inside ansi-term, this gets truncated, as you can see below, where the output starts with -----0.1-----, etc., but most of the output is gone and only the last parts remain (so I end up having a regular shell for long outputs and an ansi-term for nice REPL interaction, but obviously it is not ideal). If julia-repl solves that I'll buy it. :-) ,---- | • Powerful. Do more with less. Complex visualizations become easy. | | • Intuitive. Stop reading so much documentation.
