Maybe you're a closet Clojure or Scala developer, or perhaps you've worked with LISP in the past. If so, there's a good chance you've used a REPL as a part of your daily routine. REPL, or read-eval-print-loop, is a shell interface that reads each line of input, evaluates that line, and then prints the result. Instant feedback, nice!
When you use a REPL, you are writing code interactively and executing it without delay. The release of Java 9 in 2016 will deliver a fully functional REPL environment named JShell (code-named Kulla). This article provides an overview of the Java REPL and discusses some possibilities for how you might use it in your Java programming -- yeah, you!
