Codi - An Interactive Scratchpad for Hackers

What is Codi?

Codi is an interactive scratchpad for hackers. It opens virtual text which displays the results of evaluating each line as you type with NeoVim asynchronously. It's extensible to nearly any language that provides a REPL (interactive interpreter)!

REPL = (Read-eval-print loop)

Languages with built-in support: Python, JavaScript, CoffeeScript, Haskell, PureScript, Ruby, OCaml, R, Clojure/ClojureScript, PHP, Lua, C++, Julia, Elm, Elixir, TypeScript, Mathjs

Notes

This plugin has been a little buggy but I still find it very useful.

The maintainer and the guy who forked it and added virtual text don't seem to be very active.

I have a fork on my Github for now with the updates from both.

I don't plan on maintaining it or adding features.

Hopefully they update it soon.
