I use `-e` too, but often people mix single- and double-quotes in a same code, then I have to feed it via stdin.

Compare python:

```
$ python
Python 3.8.3 (default, Jul  8 2020, 16:49:12) 
[GCC 7.5.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 
```

To ruby:

```
$ ruby
# just hangs
```

I think firing up a console it's a good default behaviour for beginners.
