Something I've been thinking a lot about for Rust is what can and should a REPL experience be for a compiled language (ie what are reasonable compromises). There seem to be two repls that haven't gotten much traction: - https://github.com/google/evcxr/blob/main/evcxr_repl/README.md https://github.com/google/evcxr/blob/main/evcxr_repl/README.... - https://github.com/sigmaSd/IRust https://github.com/sigmaSd/IRust There have been little and big nits that have held me back from wanting to push these further, including - Bad defaults (having to opt-in to panic handling) - Command syntax feeling out of place and likely not beginner friendly - Limits on variable preservation - Lack of introspection (at least irust as `:type`) So far I've been punting on wanting to improve this area by instead focusing on polishing up a rust script solution in the hopes of getting it merged: https://github.com/epage/cargo-script-mvs https://github.com/epage/cargo-script-mvs
