Demo of clojure repl with dynamic tab completion.

tabrepl

Small demo that it is pretty easy to make repl tab completion smarter.

When I have written this, I wondered why noone had written something that obviously useful before.

Since then, I have discovered that the cake build tool includes a repl with tab completion just like I wanted to create with this.

Usage

$ lein uberjar

$ java -jar tabrepl-*-standalone.jar

Sample Session

$ java -jar tabrepl-*-standalone.jar
