GUI stands for Graphical User Interface, emphasis on Graphical.
If it's in a text buffer it's a TUI, text user interface.
I mean you could get pedantic about these things, but basically if it's rendered with a graphic framework, it's a GUI, whether it's CPU, deferred or immediate, or GPU rendered.
- ErotemeObelus 8y agoSo GUI is a REPL but with graphical components instead of text buffer. This is what I suspected, but I wanted to make sure.
- ksaj 8y agoIts a multiply-persistent repl. For example, clisp is a lispy repl. Scratch is a lispy gui. Both repls and guis have text buffers. But guis are an order of magnitude separated by their presentation layer.
- ErotemeObelus 8y agoActually you might be forgetting something. There is a difference in type between a text buffer and a GUI. A GUI has multiple types of "text buffers" running in parallel.
