Well none of these languages have anything like Lisp's `read`, but Haskell's interactive loop is fairly usable and extensible. You can add vi-like keybindings and interact with other programs like hoogle, which lets you look up things based on types.


Does it provide integrated interactive error handling, break loops, debugging of compiled code, ...


It doesn't have a similar error handling system to lisp or scheme no, but it does have an interactive debugger, and the code does get compiled when you're in ghci (including whatever modules you have loaded).
