I'd say that Java's verbosity doesn't lend itself well to interactive use. There are quite a few REPLs that allow calling Java code from another language, e.g. the integrated Javascript interpreters (run `jjs` in a terminal), BeanShell, Jython, JRuby, etc.

Don't forget Groovy! It's expressly built to bring "dynamic feeling" to Java.

And don't forget that Java can call Groovy code ;-)
