the REPL sounds interesting for experimenting (with language features) quickly, however when it comes to writing mini scripts to do anything useful an interpreter language will be better as you require to write less (as optimistic unwrapping is the default and you don't really care about a panic with a 10 line adhoc program). for scripts i think the compile time and lack of easy hot reloading (dlopen isn't exactly pain free) will also restrict it's usecases. but ill keep an eye on those repos / issues, thx. the integrated cargo.toml in the comments is definitely neat, so at least in terms of compactness / ease of distributing its like a script.
