Ok, I either don't get what you are saying, or you never really tried Haskell's REPL for real.
I've probably run most of the modules I've written in Haskell on the REPL, normally without importing the main one, because I use it for early-stage testing. I've run DB interfaces, network abstractions, and, of course, lots and lots of pure stuff. Just like you describe doing for Clojure.
Ok, I don't use an IDE that run stuff automatically at the REPL. On Haskell I import the interesting module, and run it. There is at least one IDE that connects with ghci, but I don't like it, and don't know how far it takes debuging (at a minimum, it evaluates your code and tells you the type of anything - I've tried this).
