I was interested in knowing how does the Nim REPL actually work under the hood, and what are its limitations since I don't find any resource online.

It's running nimvm, so it have all nimvm limitations.

You might also be interested in INim, which works by compiling the input on-the-fly with tcc, a small and non-optimizing, but very fast, C compiler.

nlvm recently got REPL support without the restrictions, as far as I know, haven't tried it myself yet.
