Overall, 1.12.215 is pretty cool. Congrats! OTOH, it has a strange parsing error. "\"xyz\"" results in "" Unable to resolve symbol: xyz [at <repl>11] "" If I define xyz as, say, 1234, I get "" 1234 "" Verified that 1.12.214 returns the expected "\"xyz\""

Not sure if it's related, but with 1.12.215 on WSL Debian, whenever I press \ there's a pause before the backslash is echoed. Some feature of the new REPL? Could it have an impact on parsing \ in a string? Would have to be subtle. 1.12.215 shows the same parse error running on Windows without the \ hesitation.

Can you be more specific. Is this in a REPL?

Yes

In a script, (println "\"xyz\"") prints the expected "xyz"

confirmed, can you make a github issue?
