It's mostly just that the feature is always useful (that's why it's present so often in interpreted langauges), but muuuuuch harder to do for non-interpreted languages. Notably, a subsequent goal for the Nim feature is indeed to add a full-blown REPL to Nim too, I believe. Also, worth to note that some non-interpreted languages do also have REPLs, e.g.: Haskell, OCaml, C++ (! — see CLING). |

Forth, and I've even come across an ASM REPL.
Theres exceptions the other way, Awk is interpreted but doesn't as far as I'm aware have a REPL, Sed doesn't either. But then both of those have varying implementations, so there could be exceptions to the exceptions.
