You could achieve this behaviour by using an `@async` function and checking
until `isdefined(Base,:active_repl)`, like so:
function setup()
@async while true
if isdefined(Base,:active_repl)
# enable LipsREPL
LispREPL.initrepl(Base.active_repl)
# enable sticky shell mode
sticky_shell_mode(true)
# enable CxxREPL
!(v"0.4" <= VERSION < v"0.5-") && @eval using Cxx
break
else
sleep(0.25)
end
end
end
My current full `.juliarc.jl`:

Then I would try using `REPL.setup_inferface` as Keno mentions inside that
async loop and have it execute and change to your repl as soon as
`Base.active_repl` is instantiated.
