Of course! A REPL style interface hadn’t occurred to me. That totally makes sense. I recognise the names of all the machines you mentioned from the Steven Levy Hackers book. I suppose it must have been much slower progress with no internet to read tutorials, no code to read and learn from, I guess only books. I had some time on Mini-computers back in the 80s, I think it was an Olivetti, but there wasn’t much you could do. There was wordperfect and some game were you walked around from room to room, but it was all text based. I didn’t get really into computers until around 2002. It was the web when I got interested in computing, but I was always interested to learn about the scene in previous decades.
