    the acronym (?) REPL must be new in Lisp (and Scheme)


    i'm sure i never saw it (used or mentioned) 25 years ago.

    There are many new terms coined for old concepts. Like “capture” for “lexical binding”, or “dependency injection” for “callback”.

    I never understood why we
    need the term "dependency injection".


    Would you just spell out 'determine/decide/provide concrete implementations
    of dependencies dynamically' every time?

    I don't know when exactly it was coined, but "REPL" meaning "read-evaluate-print loop" goes back at least 30 years to the late
    80's.

    I first heard it in connection to Lisp, but it was clear even then
    that Scheme was using the same lexicon.

    But why would say ``packaging up''? (Couldn't I
    ``inject'' the ``dependencies'' by passing them all as arguments.)

    Precisely my point. You can indeed.
