i'm incredibly suspicious of anyone who compares a language with a repl to one without. as for your 3rd point about packages, just try this: `grep -l '#!.*python' /usr/bin/*` and then run that same command piped into `xargs grep import`. i.e. measure how many applications on your system are importing anything besides the builtins/standard libraries shipped in the base interpreter. for extra fun, try porting the matches above to Rust and see how fun that is without `use clap`/`use structopt` and `use envlogger`. i think you've got the last point completely backward, not that i think it's a particularly important measure of a language anyway.
