   Just realized about an advantage of Java 9's Jshell: prototyping complete applications, and quickly testing changes.

     Ever got angry because Java is an interpreted language, yet requires you to compile to bytecode to test your code? Jshell to the rescue!

     Yes, now Java allows by default both testing lines of code on an REPL *and* quickly hack existing code. Hacking on Java is now possible!

     This is really cool stuff, as you can use all the power of Java for... well, anything but creating a bootloader or a kernel with it. lol.

     And now I'm seriously considering creating a text editor/IDE on Java, because a Java app could now be customized anytime just by editing it.

     Also plugins written in Java. Just like Python, but in Java.
