Comment on Rust 0.4 releasedparent

I think Rust's attractiveness is due to its type system, which does not necessarily need to be statically compiled.

Conversedly, you can have compilation and a REPL, Clojure has a repl yet is always compiled (repl instructions are compiled to JVM bytecode using the usual compilation toolset, then that bytecode is loaded and executed). According to http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/ghci..., GHCi's name doesn't lie and it's actually an interpreter.
