# [MetaCall](https://github.com/metacall/core/) Polyglot REPL
## Description
This repository implements a Polyglot REPL which shares the state of the meta-object protocol between the REPLs. Using the Polyglot REPL, you can share state between multiple languages through their individual REPL and mix code straight from your terminal.
The high-level `api.js` provided in the `src` provide five functions:
- `initialize`: To initialize the Polyglot REPL
- `select`: To select the individual language REPL; Currently Python (py) and JavaScript (node) are supported.
- `execute`: To execute a line, function or module after a REPL has been selected.
- `destroy`: Destroy the REPL and exit gracefully.
- `available`: Check all the available REPLs.
The `cli.js` provided in the `src` provides a way to develop your own REPLs and execute code straight from the command line. You can sutomize the existing REPL or define a new one.
The entry script `index.js` provides an abstraction over the usage of the high-level APIs defined above through the following commands:
```
%repl : Switch from different REPL (available tags: node py)
%inspect: Show available functions
%available: Show available REPLs
%eval : Load inline code, useful for loading inter-language functions for the REPL
%load ... : Load a file, useful for loading inter-language functions for the REPL
%exit: Finalizes the REPL
```
