> The interpreter is coming to shape! A whole bunch of interpreter bugs got fixed. While it won’t be released in the binaries distributions yet, we will work towards incorporating it in the major platforms right after this release. Stay tuned! Very excited for this. One of the beautiful parts of working in Ruby or Python or a Lisp is the REPL experience, allowing for more iterative development without the possibility of the developer getting distracted during a recompile-and-wait cycle. The ability of Crystal to provide an interpreted mode, in addition to its high-performance compiled static binary output for production, may just be the trick that opens Crystal to a wider audience of developers. Just think of how many intro tutorials to other languages start by showing someone interpreted mode usage!
