and/or a proper use of a REPL, and/or to compile and run frequently.

You're telling that to someone who has Lisp in their username :)

There's still a difference between testing while writing it and after writing it that's independent of whether you have a REPL or not.

I do both, but I find the former significantly easier when you have a REPL vs. having to write little test programs on the side.
