Interaction with the repl

[fatlazycat]

Hi, is there any current or plans to add interaction with the cabal repl ?

Such as load file, switch back and forth between editor / repl, execute highlighted form etc ?

Thanks

Not currently, but I'm certainly open to the idea. One thing you can do is use IntelliJ's built-in terminal and open a cabal repl there. I know this isn't anywhere near the same, but it's something.

Feel free to expand on how exactly you'd like this to work. I'd be interested in seeing what others think about this as well.

Thinking about it, may get away with a shortcut just to load / reload the module in the repl that you are currently editing.

I've grown to really enjoy the Scala plugin's "worksheet" mode. It's like a repl, but you just edit a source file and have the expressions evaluated in a separate pane. Something like that would be really useful.

The playground in Haskell For Mac is pretty great !

I like that idea also. Any idea when I could be ready?

I like it to , then I could experiment with some code before I use source files
