Feature request: REPL

[yahelc]

First off, thanks for creating q. It's wonderful.

One thing that seems like it would be really useful is if there was a REPL that allowed you to pass the SQL directly, and not just as a quoted argument to the program:

e.g:

$  q
q version 1.5.0

> SELECT count(*) FROM ./file.csv

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you find q useful.

I've already started working on a REPL, and it will come out in the next version of q.

Part of its features is that it will be able to reuse already-loaded data, so multiple queries on the same data would be immediate. The underlying API for supporting that has already been implemented in version 1.5.0.

Any additional input would be most welcome, Harel

Any update on this? :-) I'd love such a feature.
