How to exit the elm repl?

Question

I am learning Elm, and need to be able to exit the elm repl. I tried exit() like python, \q like postgres, typing just exit like MySQL, even :q like Haskell. The only thing I can do is close the terminal to exit, there has to be a better way.

Answer 1

To exit the elm repl you need to type :exit. You can also use Ctrl + d, but I prefer typed commands instead of multi-key holds. I found this answer here as part of the (unofficial) getting started with elm programming guide.
