About:
Ammonite REPL is a modern Scala shell designed to provide a cleaner and more powerful scripting environment than the standard Scala REPL. It features advanced capabilities like syntax highlighting, multi-line editing, and the ability to import libraries directly from Maven Central. It serves as both an interactive shell and a tool for writing and executing Scala scripts.
Key Features:
  • Advanced syntax highlighting and line editing
  • Direct dependency loading from Maven Central
  • Seamless Scala script execution
  • Extensible via its own API
Use Cases:
  • Rapid prototyping and algorithm testing
  • System administration and DevOps scripting
  • Data exploration and ad-hoc analysis
Alternatives:
  • scala-cli – scala-cli is a more comprehensive tool for building full projects, while Ammonite focuses on scripting and REPL usage.
  • bloop – bloop is a build server focused on fast compilation, whereas Ammonite is an interactive execution environment.
