Description

Lihaoyi has an enhanced Scala Shell called Ammonite. https://github.com/lihaoyi/Ammonite

Users of Ammonite shell have tried to use it with Apache Spark. https://github.com/lihaoyi/Ammonite/issues/382

Spark Shell does not work with Ammonite Shell, but I want it to because the Ammonite REPL offers enhanced auto-complete, pretty printing, and other features. See http://www.lihaoyi.com/Ammonite/#Ammonite-REPL
