reedline's development is primarily driven by the nushell project at the moment to provide its interactive REPL.
Our goal is to explore options for a pleasant interaction with a shell and programming language.
While the maintainers might currently prioritize working on features for nushell, we are open to ideas and contributions by people and projects interested in using reedline for other projects.
Feel free to open an issue or chat with us on the nushell discord in the dedicated #reedline
channel
