> I gave a talk[1] explaining the REPL and most people in the audience (including senior Java, C# and Python developers) had never seen something like that before.

I find that quite surprising, as I use the REPL a lot when coding in Python.

There are big differences in capabilities between the Python REPL and a Lisp REPL.

Even then the Python REPL can be quite useful but I do not expect most Python developers to use it. (This is from personal observations as a Common Lisp enthousiast.)
