So, in the node REPL, if I do something stupid, I get stuck in ... hell. I suppose the interpreter is waiting for the statement to be closed, but how can I break out of this?

I usually do Ctrl-C and that works fine atleast in Linux .
Ctrl-C and Escape are the most common "break from something" keys .
It works in most of the terminal apps .
As a bonus , in linux I use Ctrl-L to clear Node.js, Python etc REPL .
It is helpful sometimes .

2you can use `process.exit()` as well. Check this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/21794914/4708072 – Ahmed Abdelrahman Nov 02 '18 at 19:33

You can type in .exit to exit the node.js REPL

You can also type `.break` to only break out of ... and stay in the REPL. – cachius Mar 08 '23 at 14:39
