Higgs has a library to to allow you to pretty-print objects/data to stdout and read input from stdin.

Importing:

// To us use the console functions you must import the console module:
var console = require('lib/console');

Functions:

// To pretty-print
console.log("foo");
console.log({ foo: "bar"});
// If you pass multiple arguments, they are printed on the same line separated by tabs
console.log(1, 2, 3);

// Use console.prompt to prompt users for input.
// console.prompt(takes an optional "string" or value as a prompt message)
console.prompt("Enter you name:");

// Examples to assign the input to a variable.
var username = console.prompt("Choose a username:");

// Include a prompt with eval into your programs as a testing / development tool
var testvalue1 = eval(console.prompt("test expression 1:"));
// Higgs REPL  
// test expression 1:
// 1+2
// h> testvalue1;
// 3
