Calva: [feature] highlight syntax in REPL

[kwladyka]

Again i will compare it to Cursive.

First part is input, next is output. On the bottom I pressed arrow up to display last input to show it work even during writing in REPL.

Yeah, that is wonderful. Unfortunately VS Code does not allow for extensions to build a GUI like that. We have to make do with the built in terminal, which is pretty lame in comparison.

Do you know right place where we can suggest this as a feature in VS Code? This example of solution is good to show it has value.

This plugin gets you some of the way there: https://github.com/venantius/ultra

@RicSwirrl have you tried using the plugin together with Calva? It seems it should work, and I will try it, but have limited time right now.

A Leiningen plugin for a superior development environment

What about clj and deps.edn?

[RicSwirrl]

@PEZ it works inside the vscode terminal

[PEZ]

@RicSwirrl, now I got around to testing it out. It is pretty neat!

@kwladyka, this would only help someone using Leiningen.

With the New REPL Window, isn't this feature basically implemented now?

Looking at PEZ replying to #141

Here's what it looks like right now:
