a flying car with wings is still a car. that's the whole point of it. it can drive you to the airport and drive like like a car. I don't care what you call your computer, it can still do math. people who have their TV hooked up to their computer would more readily refer to it as a monitor. idk, I just think REPLs are kinda shit for interacting with the present state of a kernel (as Jupyter calls them). Jupyters better, but still kinda shit because it could automatically infer the important variables in scope and keep a watch list like a debugger does. And then suggest things to do with them since it's a repl and not an IDE. but the thing is fundamentally they're Read Edit Print Loop interfaces to the computer and its current working state.
