brings up Saber C/C++ as an example of a REPL for a statically typed language.   I used this a long time ago (when it was just Saber-C), but I forgot about it, so I guess I have to retract yesterday's'

    I have yet to experience an environment for a static language that is as usable in this way as a system designed with a REP loop in mind.Also, the CAML/OCaml lovers are starting to beat on me ;-). I got a comment about the camlp4 tool for doing macros in OCaml, and someone else pointed out that CAML / PolyML also have REPLs -- at least I can get out of that by saying I haven't used it. I am planning to sit down and have a look at OCaml after I finish my current project.
