repr is generally assumed to be side effect free and cheap to run, so things like debuggers tend to show repr of things in scope, including possibly exit

also then it behaves differently between repl and script, since repr never gets run. to do it properly it has to be a new repl keyword I imagine, but I still don't know if I'm sold on the idea

Good points. You're right, it does need solved at the shell level. Glad they did so.

The code isn’t high effort, it’s all the stuff you have to think about breaking

But generally I don’t think anyone prints exit in most contexts

Ps mad respect for doing that on your phone
