Project discovery issue #2

Open kataklasm opened 4 months ago

kataklasm commented 4 months ago

For some reason if I search for "Neige", "Neige.jl", "Neovim Evaluator for Julia" or similar queries this repository doesn't come up. Nor do forum threads where Neige.jl is mentioned. I have absolutely no clue why this is, maybe some forbidden name token in search engines? Whatever the reason, I believe this might be why this project has gained so little attention even though it is the best REPL runner for julia/neovim out there. It just doesn't get discovered by most people... A pity! Maybe think about renaming?

In other news (didn't want to open a separate issue for this), if you don't mind I'll take a crack at implementing the multiline/visual selection evaluation.

It might be because neige means snow in french? I am not too attached with the name so we can rename if needed. Out of curiosity, how did you find about neige.jl?

I'm quite sure I didn't discover it by search engine. Must've been mentioned in a forum, I'd guess... I just tried again and a google search for 'neovim "neige"' just brings up forum posts and the like talking about your plugin, but not the actual repository link itself, curiously.

For possible names I'd suggest something with dispatch, relay or maybe messenger/courier, as it is sending something from one place (editor) to another (REPL). And then probably combine it with Julia as this is a Julia REPL plugin first, right? Since this is a neovim plugin I'd recommend using the '.nvim' name convention as well. So maybe julia-courier.nvim or something. Just some inspiration at least.
