What Hacker News says

It still seems to need to at least check for the latest version after that first install, I have a ~4 second wait before evaluation of the first expression on every single launch of the REPL while it hits up their package server. And if you have no internet connection or the package server is down, the REPL will not evaluate any expressions at all, it just shows an HTTP error message on every input (after a timeout). The only option for offline usage seems to be running the REPL inside a configured elm project directory which has had the core packages downloaded/installed: https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-repl/issues/54
In Elm 1+2: can't download X
