The document discusses what a Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL) is. A REPL is an interactive interpreter for a programming language that allows users to enter expressions, have them evaluated, and display the results. It originated with LISP but is now used by many languages like Python, Ruby, and Javascript. A REPL has four main components - a read function to read input, an eval function to evaluate code, a print function to display results, and a loop function to continuously run the other three functions until terminated. The document then asks what a REPL interface is specifically in Javascript and Nodejs.
