Hello,

I've asked a similar question in a thread called REPL-driven development.

Search for it.

Unfortunately, in my opinion there's not much there.

SLIME for LISP is the best example I know of using an interactive
prompt. Search for screencasts of it, LISPers do VERY nifty things in
their REPLs.

There was a screencast of web-development with some LISP framework
that used LispWorks, but it showed REPL use that impressed me a lot. I
don't remember which framework, but you can google and may find it.
