REPL interaction

Vim can take advantage of read evaluate print loops (REPL) to run code 'cells'. This is similar to the experience in Jupyter notebooks, Colab, and RStudio

IPython

This is for the IPython interpreter. The normal python REPL isn't as easy to use

Plug 'jpalardy/vim-slime'

Necessary for any sort of REPL interaction through vim. Lets vim send text to other terminals or tmux panes

Plug 'hanschen/vim-ipython-cell'

Plugin provides many conveniences for interacting with REPLs, such as one-line execution, highlighted cell delimiters, and navigation between cells

Julia

Use the same setup as the IPython REPL, except modify the evaluation string

let g:ipython_cell_run_command = 'Base.run(`clear`); include("{filepath}")'
let g:ipython_cell_cell_command = 'include_string(Main, clipboard())'

Julia equivalents for pasting the clipboard and executing a file
