How does this compare with Mathematica, Maple, and other interactive notebook programs? It reminds me very much of using Maple 15+ years ago.
This is also very much how I use the REPL in Common Lisp environments, albeit a little differently. You have access to previous computations and values with the symbols *, **, ***, and +, ++, +++ so you can manipulate access recent history and try things again.
Here’s my attempt at edit and continue for Python. (It would also work inside a function.)
Here’s another one I’m aware of (I haven’t found the source for it).
