A tangent of a tangent:

My way of doing imperative coding for data science with Python is to write a price of code in Sublime Text, copy and paste to iTerm, run, and get back to the editor. But of course I mapped shift+Enter to do all of that for me. I much prefer this setting to Jupyter Notebooks.

I program with almost all of my script-ey languages, like python, in a similar way - I'm on linux, and I edit everything in Sublime, save it to a file and then run it in a separate terminal. It the command gets complex I'll create a little bash script file, make it execytable, and run that.

I just alt-tab from editer to terminal, check output, etc, and back. That way I have a bunch of unix text-processing tools (grep, sed, etc...) always available. I'm too reliant on print debuging things as I go along, but it's a deeply ingrained habit.

The tool "entr" (and similar like "cargo watch") are so useful there. Save the file and it runs the command. For extra credit I mapped shift-enter to save the current file in my editor.
