mjsish

Metascript interactive shell and IDE supporting tools.

Setup

npm install -g mjsish

Usage

mjsish starts a vanilla metascript repl.

The repl accumulates lines until an empty line or a line ending in a semicolon is entered and then evaluates the whole input. It has basic readline support but you might get a better experience at this point by using rlwrap.

rlwrap mjsish --no-tty

mjsish -j gets the repl to output the generated javascript code before evaluation.

Todo

• when starting the repl from a nodejs package directory, require should be relative to the package
• repl should remember #metaimport directives
• --metaimport command line to automatically import macros into the repl environment
• server mode
• symbol server - watches a directory with mjs files and allow queries for symbol locations
• TAB completion
• --require command line to automatically inject modules into the repl environment
