Why? Rust is a systems-level language. It's not designed for scripting. If that's what you want, use Python/bash/{yourFavoriteScriptingLanguage}.

- ch4s3 10y agoWell, if you can interpret it then its easy to build a repl, and repls are nice.
- fiedzia 10y ago"being interpreted" in not enough to have useful repl. You also need to be dynamic and introspectable. There are interpreters for C, but it doesn't make it suitable to use with repl.
- baq 10y agothere's nothing bad about interpreting a systems language. there are C interpreters available, too. i'd argue it'd be a very useful feature since the compile times of rust are one of its biggest pain points right now.
