Dear Julia community,

I invite you to read the [new blog post](https://julialang.org/blog/2017/04/repl-0.6-highlights) on tweaks and improvements made to the REPL as well as the new color capabilities available in Julia 0.6. Hope you enjoy it and perhaps learn something new.

// Kristoffer

Looks great! Might I suggest updating the blog post to include an example of `test_error()` so people can follow along interactively?

I really like the syntax highlighting of `OhMyREPL.jl` - any chance this will be used in the standard REPL in the future?

Maybe but likely not. I foresee a PR for that would derail into a long discussion about what default color scheme to use 😛

I already implemented that for myself (the colors aren’t 100% exact but I can tweak more) so I’ll take you up on that 🙂
