## What it is
Codi.vim is a Vim/NeoVim plugin that provides an interactive scratchpad: it opens a synchronized pane showing the live evaluation results of each line as you type, via any supported REPL. It ships with built-in support for many languages including Python, JavaScript, Haskell, Ruby, and more, and is extensible to any language with a REPL.

## Use cases
- live-evaluate python code as I type in vim
- interactive scratchpad for testing javascript snippets
- repl-driven experimentation inside neovim
- quickly try out haskell expressions line by line
- use vim as a calculator with mathjs
- prototype ruby or elixir code with instant feedback

## When to choose
- you live in Vim/NeoVim and want instant REPL feedback without leaving the editor
- you want a Numi-like live evaluation scratchpad for many languages
- you need extensible interpreter support for any language with a REPL

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Vim or NeoVim
- you need a full notebook interface with rich output like Jupyter
- your Vim lacks +job/+channel and you need true as-you-type evaluation

- function: interpreter, developer-tools, editor
