The later model Ivory was even better. All of this in the 80s.
I have seen that but too much hardware talk which i have not much

Slightly so. I wouldn't say much.
But of course, I'm not saying that a REPL wouldn't be nice to have.
Just saying that edit, re-compile/run really

Personally I find REPLs super annoying, especially when you need
to import or require something or like to use multiple lines.
Serious how hard is it to just do:
### Ruby
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require pp
puts do stuff
// D
#!/usr/bin/rdmd
import std.stdio;
void main() {
writeln(do stuff);
}

then press Command+b (Sublime text) and watch it work/fail?
With a REPL you don't need to repeat the precedent computations
every time you add something. You keep building on what you have
already done. This saves you time (beside saving you
