@borkdude -- could you comment on https://github.com/candid82/joker/pull/383 and/or https://github.com/candid82/joker/pull/382? We're trying to design the "right" way to elegantly exit the Joker REPL, and we're not entirely clear as to why bb and lumo went with a special-case keyword rather than a function (which is what we're leaning towards at this point).

@james-clojure To be honest, I don't remember exactly where I got the idea of :repl/exit and :repl/quit from. I think it was suggested by a user that also had it in another REPL and I was fine with that.

When googling I found that Rebel readline also has it.

That was very helpful! So I’ve created a third PR for @roman.bataev to choose among: https://github.com/candid82/joker/pull/386 :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: (I like this latest one the best, but the other approaches are okay too….)
