@kuszi Put a great answer as a comment to the question, but I almost missed it because it was a comment rather than the answer.

This link goes to a huuuge list of REPs and REPLs for tons of languages.

That online Python interpreter is basically worthless for learning Python. You can't define your own functions or classes, so it's not going to be much use to anyone. – Eli Courtwright Sep 08 '08 at 03:38
dead links -- see repl.it instead – Andrei Apr 22 '12 at 19:33

That Ruby interpreter is off for some reason. `a = Time.new` produces an error. It does say Beta on the link, but wow. – jcollum Jul 18 '12 at 21:18

You can play around with jsScheme for Scheme, but it's a toy and shouldn't replace a console-based interpreter.

You can try this http://doc.pyschools.com/console. It is actually an editor, and is good for testing your python code online when you do not have it installed on your computer.

http://lotrepls.appspot.com/ is a console that works reasonably well for all these scripting languages:

python
ruby
groovy
beanshell
clojure
javascript
scala
scheme

Just hit CTRL+SPACE to switch languages or use the metacommand '/switch', for example '/switch clojure' to start coding in clojure.
