iron.nvim is a Neovim plugin (and library) for interacting with REPLs directly from within your editor buffers. It lets you send code selections or motions to a running REPL without leaving your work buffer.

Use cases

  • send code from neovim to a python repl
  • interactive repl inside neovim
  • evaluate snippets without leaving the editor
  • literate-style incremental development in vim
  • integrate repl with nvim-dap debugging

When to choose

  • you live in Neovim and want REPL-driven development
  • you want a plugin that is also extensible as a Lua library
  • you need configurable repl layouts and language definitions

When to avoid

  • you use an editor other than Neovim
  • you want a full notebook-style UI like Jupyter
