This makes sense if you are using JavaScript or Python. But not Java, which is statically typed and an IDE that takes care of most of the stuff you mentioned.

edit: java also has hot swapping of running code.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoI do Java for my $dayjob and I can tell you that while IDE helps a lot with types and moving around the code, it doesn't give you interactivity offered by a proper REPL. (Conversely, a language with a decent support for interactivity enables IDE developers to provide tools further enhancing interactive programming.)
- piva00 9y agoHot swapping breaks in arcane ways that most people won't bother searching how to avoid, code swap is simply considered unreliable by most of my colleagues. But this is anecdotally speaking, of course.
