    • execute

      public static void execute() throws IOException
      Executes the Turicum REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) using JLine for terminal interaction. This method initializes the REPL environment, setting up terminal-based input/output, handling user commands, and maintaining execution context. It supports various REPL commands such as input execution, help, listing variables, and exiting the loop. The method processes user input incrementally and supports multi-line code blocks, while managing state transitions. Key features: - Provides a prompt for user input (`>>>` for new input, `...` for continuation). - Maintains a context stack to support block structures within the REPL. - Provides inline help with `//help` and supports context introspection commands (`?`, `??`, `???`). - Manages syntax highlighting and state management for multi-line inputs based on brace matching. - Handles errors gracefully, resetting states in case of syntax or runtime errors.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an input/output error occurs, typically related to terminal interaction
