WIP: this doesn't do anything yet.
Node REPL, but with syntax highlighting.
npx colorepl
Or, if you like to install stuff globally, npm i -g colorepl, then colorepl.
Other languages have nice REPLs! Clojure has Ultra, Python has bpython, Haskell has HsColour, and so on. Node's REPL is just a builtin module, which means it can easily be built on. And I like syntax highlighting, so I wanted this. As far as I know, the only real REPL (I'm not counting browser-based applications like Mancy) for Node that had syntax highlighting was this thing called Ultra that disappeared from Github a while ago, and doesn't even run on modern Node. So, there's this thing now.
