That said, changing how you think about programming... even with jshell I still think Java in classes and methods (and trying to pull in larger frameworks is not as trivial as java.lang packages). However, I think Groovy (and a good bit of Scala) in a script writing style. jshell itself is likely more useful for teaching than for development - especially once you've got a sufficiently complex project and the ide integration becomes more valuable than the immediate feedback. Still, something to play with and one of the lesser known features of Java.
