julia-repl-vterm.el
The julia-repl-vterm.el provides a major-mode for inferior Julia process that runs in vterm, and a minor-mode that extends julia-mode for interaction with the inferior Julia process.
Should I use this?
There's already julia-repl. It works well in most cases, but I sometimes encountered problems when I used very large DataFrame, which seemed to be caused by the limited performance of term.el. I wrote this simple REPL mode using vterm and found the performance problems were resolved.
This code has the minimum functions that suffice my use. For most general users, julia-repl may be the better choice. The julia-repl seems also going to support vterm soon.
Installation
Install julia-mode and emacs-libvterm first. Download julia-repl-vterm.el into somewhere in your local directory and install it with the following.
(package-install-file "/path-to-download-dir/julia-repl-vterm.el")
Next, evaluate the following add-hook line to turn on julia-with-repl-vterm-mode in newly opened julia-mode buffers. A symbol "⁂" in the mode line indicates that the julia-mode buffer is ready to interact with the vterm-powered Julia REPL. Add this line to your init file to enable this in future sessions.
(add-hook 'julia-mode-hook #'julia-with-repl-vterm-mode)
How to use
In a julia-mode buffer, M-x inferior-julia-repl-vterm-switch-to-script-buffer
(or C-c C-z
) to open an inferior Julia REPL buffer associated with the julia-mode buffer.
