No.

Hey, at least some one interacted with me, thanks for that. What do you think about just hot code reload? I think that may be a lot easier and more acceptable to get going.

[Kelimion]

Hot code reload is already possible using core:dynlib.

NIce.

Okay so, this is terribly hacky and I am embarrassed to share, but I've hacked a Python script that serve as a REPL for simple one-liners: https://github.com/eliasdorneles/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/odinsh.py 😄

What an example session looks like:

> ts, utc_offset, _ := time.iso8601_to_time_and_offset("2026-06-03T22:33:00+02:00")
> s, ok := time.time_to_rfc3339(ts, utc_offset)
> s
2026-06-03T22:33:00+02:00
> ok
true

It's VERY hacky and generally a terrible idea, but may be occasionally useful to quickly try out some function from the core libraries. No promises about maintaining/improving this, but feel free to copy it and make it your own if you so wish! =)
