Linenoise is included in Task::Star.
https://github.com/tadzik/Task-Star/commit/8ff101ae15

As a bit of history, Linenoise used to be part of the Rakudo repo, but it
was split off in the interest of making the base install smaller, keeping
separate software separate, and making it more pluggable.

Hi

Try Out Linenoise
https://github.com/hoelzro/p6-linenoise/
panda install Linenoise


Command history is essential to the user experience of a REPL. I wonder 
why Linenoise just isn't included in Task::Star (?)

...ctrl-k? wtf is bash misteaching people any more? I'd expect ctrl-p, like
pretty much anything else with line editing (including bash).
That said, I don't know how Linenoise does in the history department.

While I recall that we've often discussed building command history into 
Rakudo's REPL directly, the workaround suggested to me was to use 'rlwrap':


   $ rlwrap ./perl6

Then the arrow keys work, as well as CTRL-P and other bash-like history 
commands.  I've never used CTRL-K for history, but rlwrap is customizable so 
there's probably a way to get that to work somehow.
