Dear friends,
what’s the best way to invoke Julia’s REPL for someone using the Vim editor? I’m using the Julia plugin for Vim, but I always have to be compiling the Julia code. I would like to know if there is any interesting way to experiment in the REPL, without having to open a new tab in vim with Julia. Does the plugin have any way to do this easily?
