It's confusing how 'REPL' refers to two different UIs:
A CLI like IPython or Julia, where things like multiline editing and syntax highlighting need careful implementation.
An editor protocol like SLIME or CIDER where multiline editing is a total non-issue.
I've released difftastic 0.62! In this release:
* Updated parsers for Bash, C, C++, C#, CSS, Go, Haskell, HTML, Java, JavaScript, JSON, Julia, Lua, Objective-C, OCaml, PHP, Python, Ruby, Scala, TOML, TypeScript and XML.
* Obligatory crash fixes.
One underrated feature of Go and Julia: methods are defined without extra indentation. In e.g. Java they're inside the the class at the next indentation level.
Methods are so common and indentation is a finite resource. "Top level method" syntax is surprising at first though.
