As discussed on the Slack, it's worth thinking about having OhMyREPL ship with Julia and load automatically when an interactive Julia REPL is started. Then everyone gets a nice colorful experience!

Moving the rest of the REPL code to the stdlib would be a good start.

Maybe replace the repl with OhMyRepl at the same time while moving to stdlib?

It would be nice to have syntax highlighting in the default REPL, but this is definitely future work. Having CSTParser in the stdlib would make a lot of sense since it's so tightly coupled with the language. Even better would be using it for parsing in Julia itself, but I'm not sure that's going to happen.

I'm working on moving the REPL to stdlib.
As for OhMyREPL, the code in it is not pretty and it works quite well as a package for now. There is probably better stuff to spend time on for 1.0. But for the future, bringing in syntax highlighting in the REPL would be nice.
