history

Project history and usage

Frege REPL is the command-line read-eval-print loop for Frege, a Haskell-like purely functional language for the JVM.

Project history

The frege-repl repository was created in 2012 under the Frege organization. Its README documents interactive Frege evaluation, REPL commands, Gradle-based source builds, and the requirement for a JDK because Frege compiles through Java.

Adoption history

The README says the REPL can be downloaded from frege-repl releases and, later, is included in Frege releases. Homebrew packages frege-repl separately and declares openjdk@17 as a dependency.

How it is used

Users run frege-repl to evaluate snippets and use commands such as :type, :browse, :java, :load, :history, :reset, :version, :help, and :quit. The broader Frege README positions Frege as Haskell for the JVM with Java interoperability.

Why package nerds care

For package-manager users, frege-repl is the interactive front door to a JVM language toolchain: it packages a language REPL plus JDK dependency rather than a standalone text utility, making dependency metadata and language-runtime classification important.
