You don't need a repl for this workflow and it can be easily implemented in any language. `ls *.MY_LANG | entr -c run.sh` You get feedback whenever you save the file.
Personally, I find waiting more than 200ms unacceptable and really < 50ms is ideal. When the feedback is very small, it becomes practical to save the file on every keystroke and get nearly instantaneous results with every input char.
