> an interactive language - one where code is often run immediately after writing Sorry if I'm ignorant, but I thought the term interactive language usually referred to languages where the code was run and modified in real time, while it is running, as in Smalltalk or Self, using something akin to Erlang's hot reload capabilities?[1] I think the viewpoint in that paradigm is to "cut out the middleman" of having a UI altogether, and to treat code as the UI, effectively It feels like the author is describing interactive languages in the sense of IPython or REPL based programming, unless I pretty badly misunderstood. I was interested because I am in the process of writing a baby Smalltalk, although nowhere near as sophisticated as what the author seems to be building, I'm just starting with learning this stuff. I still enjoyed reading though [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_programming https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_programming
