    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....

    - 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
