## FAQ
### Why is my terminal is spitting out junk when I run the repl?
Make sure your terminal supports ANSI escape codes. Most modern terminals will
support these, but some older terminals, windows consoles, or embedded terminals
will not. If your terminal does not support ANSI escape codes, run the repl with
the `-n` flag, which disables color output. You can also try the `-s` if further issues
ensue.
