I want to do some development in C, but I would also like to have the ability of playing with an interactive command line a-la python, as it eases the "playing" process of figuring out what I am doing. There are a few options in the ports tree and I'm wondering if anyone has played with them and has an oppinion. I've seen ccscrpt and cint, I also know root has a C interpereter (though I don't know how good it is, and it's for scientific numerical analysis, not generic programming). as a secondary (probably stupid) question: how hard is it to write a library in C++ and allow C programs to use it?
