Difference between trymodule and replem? #2

Thanks for the great work!

Just for curiosity, what's the difference between trymodule and replem? Have always been using replem.

Hm, good question. Didn't find replem even though I searched high and low for a similar tool before doing this.

What I can see on taking a quick look, is that replem offers more features and more complexity (13 dependencies vs 2 in trymodule, also the code is many times more complex in replem).

I'm expecting the complexity of trymodule to grow a little bit but in general to be a simple CLI so it's easy to see what is going on under the hood.

But generally they seems to have the same use case, while trymodule being a bit simpler.
