The idea behind the REPL is for fast iteration in development, but the key thing missing is thinking. Most people write code at the REPL to see what will happen. They don't formulate a hypothesis before hitting the enter key. It's more of a guess driven development methodology, keep trying till it works.
If you want to improve your program experience, slow down on the run/compile cycle. Think it through.
