Oliver, sorry, I misread which mailing list this was.
What would be tricky about this for gradle is the lifecycle as that isn't in 
evidence for groovy.
What kinds of things would you want to do with a Gradle REPL?

I want to build and explore the data structures you find in all
the example scripts. For instance I struggled for a while with
file trees and repositories (I am new to both gradle and groovy).

I think the basic problem I have is that I don't have a good
mental picture of where groovy ends and gradle starts. Are
gradle syntax and its data structures 100% groovy? If so maybe
I can learn them from groovysh.

But gradle does some things in the background for you like
creating a Project object at the start of the script, with
subsequent auto-delegation to the Project object of properties
and methods not defined in the build script. I guess that would
be difficult to emulate from groovysh?
