Shells such as Python, Scala, etc. are good for some one-off experiments and tasks, but I think in general they are over-rated in general usefulness. Much better for non-trivial experimentation is to have a super-lightweight editor/execution. Groovy has GroovyConsole, Python has IDLE. Personally I find Emacs/rdmd excellent as an experimentation combination for D codes.
I'm using TextMate (Mac OS X) and rdmd. I just create a new document, type the code and run it from within TextMate. I don't even have to save the document. I probably should make it so it automatically wraps the code in a main function for even easier and more script like usage.
