I've been iterating further on how Garden shows type errors. For types in the standard library, I'm now showing "a String" but "an Int". I'm also doing basic syntax highlighting of the code excerpt. What do you think?

It's funny how languages can offer multiple forms of syntax, but formatters standardise to a single form. E.g. single vs double quotes in JS, optional semicolons in JS, different ways of grouping imports in Rust. Should new languages be more syntactically opinionated?

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.
