Crystal: Crystal's REPL

[ArthurZ]

Hi,
Are we going to get REPL in Crystal?

[bew]

There is crystal-icr, which is more a hack that works than a fully supported crystal REPL.
Quoting @asterite from https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/681#issuecomment-106538018 "I think it's possible, just hard."

See also: crystal play. Not quite a REPL, but pretty useful.
Run crystal play, and then connect to it using your local web browser.

Refactoring icr to use the instrumentation created for crystal play would be interesting.
