Is my impression or this could lead to a kind of "rust-in-time" compiler? If the idea is to have a "roslyn" kind of backend then generate on the fly rust code and run it directly is feasible? This could be wonderful!

A Rust REPL would be nice :)

  A REPL for Rust is pretty difficult, even conceptually. Like, how does the ownership model interact with an env with as unclear scoping as a REPL?

  There is https://crates.io/crates/evcxr_repl https://crates.io/crates/evcxr_repl Also some others exist like https://crates.io/crates/papyrus https://crates.io/crates/papyrus but I didn't try this one.

    Any idea why it’s named that way?

  Yeah, but I'm talking is about generating (transpiling) code.
