This sounds quite a bit different from the sort of development work I do.
I can see how a REPL would be really useful when working with data, but for building out a webserver or desktop application, it doesn't have nearly as much value.

And tests have less value, or at least are more difficult to write, when you're not sure if an outlier is valuable information or junk to be discarded.
