Fwd: [OT] replxx: readline & libedit replacement supporting UTF-8, syntax highlighting, hints, Unix & Windows, BSD licensed

I just found this, it was posted to clc++. Maybe could be interesting to
deliver a state-of-the art REPL with tclsh.

Sorry for the spam.

I wanted to advertise library I worked on.
The `replxx` library is a replacement for GNU-readline or for BSD's libedit,
it is BSD licensed and its distinguished features are:

- user defined live syntax highlighting
- user defined hints (as you type)
- UTF-8
- works on Linuxes, BSD's, Solaris and (native) Windows
- C API
- user defined tab-completion
- command line history

`replxx` is a fork of `linenoise-ng` which itself is a fork of
`linenoise`.

Link to replxx github repository:
https://github.com/AmokHuginnsson/replxx

I hope you find this little piece of code useful.
Have a great day!

Yes, it's interesting. replxx is a fork of a fork of linenoise.
One downside (from memory) is that replxx requires c++11 to build, even though
it has a C API.
