Java 9 came out a few days ago and it includes a REPL. This is a well-known thing among interpreted languages (e.g. Python), but it’s not very common in the case of compiled languages.
$ jshell | Welcome to JShell -- Version 9 | For an introduction type: /help intro jshell> int a = 3 a ==> 3 jshell> int b = 2 b ==> 2 jshell> a + b $3 ==> 5 jshell> $3 $3 ==> 5 jshell>
Here is a more detailed blog post about jshell.
Note
jshell stands for Java Shell, and not for JavaScript Hell!
