## Description

Developing solutions in the Convex decentralised environment enacts a  read–eval–print loop (REPL), also termed an interactive toplevel or language shell, it is a simple interactive computer programming environment that takes single user inputs, executes them, and returns the result to the user; a program written in a REPL environment is executed piecewise. The term usually refers to programming interfaces similar to the classic Lisp machine interactive environment. Common examples include command-line shells and similar environments for programming languages, and the technique is very characteristic of scripting languages.  We've written Convex Lisp to account for the decentralised nature of Convex.
