I'm programmatically accessing kotlinc and feeding it snippets to verify they can be compiled. Is there a way to also evaluate expressions and obtain their results in the same way the kotlinc REPL does? Any help or pointers in the right direction are appreciated 🙂

The simplest and the most future-proof way is to use JSR-223. For sample scripting host implementation and tests see this project - https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/tree/master/libraries/examples/kotlin-jsr223-local-example
