As a Python user, I had my a-ha moment with Nim when I realized I didn't need a repl.
With Python, I used repl all the time. There's bpython, ptpython, ipython, and probably a couple more great repls because repl is really important for Python development.
Nim's INim is no match for those. But here's the great part: with Nim you don't have to test code snippets all the time. I get all my error messages before they happen. This felt liberating after Python.

Agree to disagree, I use inim all the time to test out those code snippets folks post in nim's discord to see what's broken in them :-P
I'd just save a snippet to a file and wait a second for nimsuggest to highlight the errors :-)
