Hi

Just curious: is there some recommended "first choice" combination of REPL and libs for (Apple) Swift styled "playgrounds"? (I have just seen a fractalish coffee spill and remembered that I have not implemented Mandelbrot set since high school and Pascal days and maybe it's time to be a bit childish again). Thanks Ondra 'satai' Nekola ondra@nekola.cz

For emacs, the integrated REPL support in haskell-mode is pretty good. The github wiki for haskell-mode gives a nice comprehensive overview of the features: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/wiki/Haskell-Interactive-Mode On 28 November 2015 at 21:40, Ondrej Nekola wrote:

Great to hear people still play with programming - I should do that more myself! ;-) Racket has a very nice REPL that lets you display nontextual data, such as the plot utils for graphs here: http://docs.racket-lang.org/plot/utils.html Would be great to get something like this for Haskell. Otherwise for the Mandelbrot set I'd imagine you could use the "diagrams" package to specify the graphics using Haskell and then have it rendered into a file that you load up into browser. Then you can change the spec, re-generate file and reload in the browser. M. emacstheviking:

Ondrej,

It has just text. Have you seen this though...?

The hackage page...

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vacuum

and a YouTube video...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4-212uMgy8

That might be of interest?!

All the best, Sean.
