read-eval-print loop
<language, LISP, programming> (REPL) A programming structure within LISP
which repeatedly reads a form from the user, evaluates it, and displays the
result.
A read-eval-print loop forms the basis of the Top-Level shell that programmers
of the LISP family of languages interact with.
In many dialects of LISP a very simple REPL could be implemented as:
(loop (print (eval (read)))).
