Features & Capabilities

cl-repl is an open source Chrome extension providing a robust Common Lisp REPL environment integrated with a straightforward editor. It features command line input with history, syntax highlighting, visual parenthesis matching, and basic auto-completion to streamline Lisp coding. The extension leverages the ECL implementation for Lisp processing and utilizes Qt5/QML for its user interface.

Included tools like Slime and easy Quicklisp installation simplify development workflows. Users can open and save files using a file dialog and benefit from a simple debug dialog to troubleshoot code. Local file exchange over WiFi is supported, enabling convenient sharing without leaving the extension. Source code and project details are available on GitLab, encouraging community contributions and transparency.

User Reviews

Users praise cl-repl as a powerful, full Common Lisp REPL on Android, offering a smooth, ad-free coding experience with active developer support. It enables learning and practicing Lisp on the go with a responsive editor but suffers from scarce documentation, file saving challenges, and UI issues like input dialogs covering prompts and the keyboard obscuring outputs. Overall, its functionality and portability make it highly valued despite these usability drawbacks.

Pros

Full Common Lisp implementation with REPL on Android, enabling powerful coding on a mobile device.
No ads, free and open source, which is appreciated by users.
Smooth and effective coding experience, allowing users to practice and learn Lisp anywhere.
Active development and responsive developer support, including quick bug fixes.
Simple, easy-to-use download-and-go design with handy editor features.

Cons

Limited or almost no documentation, leading to a steep learning curve for new users.
File management issues, including difficulties saving to SD card or external storage.
User interface concerns such as lack of a clear 'run' button and editor improvements needed (e.g., select all button, tab vs spaces).
Input dialog covering too much screen space, obstructing visibility of prompts.
The keyboard blocking the output window causing difficulties in reading output.
