Compiling will be all but instantaneous for most starter projects. The important thing is to give quick gratification to students, which both compiled and interpreted languages offer. I agree that having a REPL would be a good thing to have, and while Java does have one to some extent, it's not as friendly as one offered by Ruby or Python. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
