the REPL is one of those things I felt like I needed at first after using one, but after using them for years I've found i prefer them less; To me there was a disconnect from the code I ran in the repl to the code that had to be written.. and once I became more familiar with a language the less i needed to test those small things in repl. Thats not to say repl isnt useful.. I just don't attribute it to me 'moving faster' as much anymore
