Janet Editor and Tooling Info

Mostly a collection of editor and tooling info for use with the Janet programming language

Background

It's possible to interact with a running janet process using what's traditionally referred to as a REPL connection. However, since janet start-up is on the quick side, it's often doable just to repeatedly start a succession of fresh janet processes.

See here for more details.
