Why is fputs returning 1?
1 is a non-negative number. fputs() return nonnegative numbers on success...
Ah yeah true, looked at the wrong part of a man page.

#12Reminds me of CERN’s ROOT which has C/C++ interpreter https://root.cern.ch/
One of the biggest problem with these repl for complied languages is that they panic as soon as you rerun a command. `cling` integrates with Jupyter notebook too but as soon as you rerun a declaration of a variable, everything collapse and you have to reset the kernel. Maybe I didn’t dig deep enough and there is a way around this but if not, this is quite painful to deal with and a deal breaker.

#13I love that you have to #include how to exit :)
And people think exiting vim is hard!
I suppose you could always quit abruptly, though...

perhaps you meant to include https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter as reference.

Agreed, syntax highlighting would be great. I was thinking about something akin to fish's syntax highlighting and completion with the REPL.
I'll take a look at tree-sitter. If I get syntax highlighting for free then I'll take that!

#19In the late 80s there was a product called C-Terp, which I loved!
Here's a link to a brief description:

And, yes, I paid the $295 for it.

#20Interactive C environments were popular for a while. I have collected information on several at the Computer History Museum. I actually have even more stuff that I never got around to uploading.
You unfortunately need to make an account to see the pages. It was heavily attacked at one time and that was the admin's solution.
