Comment (by osa1):

 Another good repl that you may want to look at as an inspiration is utop
 (for OCaml). It has syntax highlighting (disabled by default) and good
 multi-line support (although the support for multi-line is mostly thanks
 to OCaml's syntax, not entirely something the utop solves). It also shows
 possible completions as you type always, which is a feature unique to
 utop, I think.
