it's not the lack of a repl I mind so much as the startup time. I'd love to be able to write small command line apps in pyret but the execution delay is painful. (that said, I fully appreciate the focus on education; there are lots of other scripting languages I can use!)

I agree! We're acutely conscious of it. This is precisely where, as you note, the education focus puts our resources elsewhere. Once those things settle down, this is something we're going to want very much even for ourselves.
