Building a script from the REPL might mean running different parts of the code out of order (such as reloading a function definition). As you mentioned, it's easy to lose track of state, writing 'clever'/unmaintainable code, and forgetting the order and purpose of the code.
I think that's pretty much what a good compiler is meant to do?
smaller binary images would be amazing though, especially when OS dependencies are required
