It's an idea which has been mentioned here many times, so I thought I

Interesting, thanks for the link. At 12:16 - "But of course there are 
many things we need to think about: immutable objects, purity of 
functions, isolation... and these are things that are heavily on our 
mind day-to-day." It's good to know D has all of the above taken care of.

The REPL in Hejlsberg's demo requires a bit more than what 
CSharpCodeProvider offers. Instead of compiling an entire file, the loop 
needs to compile a code snippet and save the resulting environment for 
further evaluations.

The changes in the compiler aren't huge, and the effect is quite nice.

This is an old vid but IIRC Miguel created a reply
vid explaining how Mono had the ability to do REPLs for a long time.
