You can do that with packages but not (at least not easily and conveniently) with notebooks. So basically your functions can reside in a package, but your computation has to reside inside notebooks.

It is possible to write notebooks directly in a text editor and then have them run. That just gave me an idea for a weekend project...

I'm sure it's possible, but is it straight-forward how you're supposed to do this properly? And is there any way to access the Wolfram kernel from the command-line (like a python executable)?

Update: I guess I owe the Wolfram Language another look.

Yes, you can use the kernel from the command line:
