The main problem with other languages is they are not designed from the ground up to be REPL driven. With Python, for example, it works fine until you have more than one module, then it just falls apart completely. With Lisps like Common Lisp and Clojure you never have to reload the REPL for any reason. You program is running "live". It's really hard to describe, to be honest, you just have to try a true REPL language like (CL is the best, but Clojure is pretty good too).
