The repl is an invaluable tool for exploring ideas. Think of it as a sketchpad. I would not want to live without it. When it comes to building and linking the pieces of a large program, the REPL is still a fantastic tool. It does fall short when you use it to patch large programs with haphazard loading of definitions and expressions. As they used to say about types, it takes a strong mind to live without transparency and I don't think I have it (all the time). So that's why DrRacket comes with a transparent REPL not an opaque one. -- Matthias
