I was using it mainly due to the multimedia integration, which is guess this is not a feature of julia-repl. Otherwise, I don’t see differences in my daily life.
There is
which provides this for julia-repl.
Well, that’s definitely a must for emacsen!! Thanks for the tip.
This works great but CairoMakie figures don’t appear in MacOS preview (as they used to in julia-snail). EmacsVterm.options.image = true helps in this respect (as I can see them inside emacs) but sometimes I miss the other type of treatment. GLMakie and Plots.jl work great. Is it only me?
By the way, upcoming in emacs 32 is the emacs canvas which will give a pixel buffer that applications can just write pixels into directly.
Someone has already made a little Makie proof of concept for this, displaying interactive GLMakie plots in an emacs canvas: GitHub - mochar/glmakie-el: render GLMakie plots in emacs canvas · GitHub.
I think the future of multimedia support in emacs is looking pretty exciting.
