Forth not only has a REPL, but an incremental compiler, too. Have a look at http://www.forth.com/starting-forth/index.html, you'll be amazed what Forth has to offer! Interactive microcontroller debugging is every bit as fun as it sounds :)
Do you have any favorite compact Forth implementations for AVRs? Each time I find myself writing a configuration-and-introspection parser for a microcontroller project I think to myself, "I should just expose a REPL here", and FORTH is the obvious choice, but I've never had the time to dig through the many AVR FORTH implementations out there for the right one.
AmForth (http://amforth.sourceforge.net/) is my current favorite, but like with Linux distros, my tastes are somewhat floating. So I'm writing my own little weekend Forth just for playing around ;)
