No auto-complete. It's severely limited to only live objects. Which may be an argument for REPL, but it's not an argument for "dynamic languages can have autocomplete".

The argument for "dynamic languages can have autocomplete" is that they already do in a variety of modern editors (like Emacs) and IDEs (like PyCharm et al).
You're not only ignorant, but proudly so.
For example, the following code does not give me any auto-completion suggestions in eclipse or in vim:
str = "hello"
test(str)
def test(val):
val.[TAB]I was saying that "Even something as Spartan as the Javascript REPL in Chrome" can't do "real" autocomplete.
