Description

Because the REPL is primary a tool for learning and testing the language, and because of all the differences between jisp and JavaScript, the REPL by default prints compiled code back before executing it. There needs to be an option to launch a non-verbose REPL that doesn’t print code back.

Research direction

Start at the REPL entry point and inspect how compiled code is printed before execution. Define and implement a launch option that suppresses this output while preserving execution, then verify that the default REPL remains verbose and the non-verbose mode does not print compiled code.
