I used to ~20 years ago. It was a curses-based mini-emacs in C; the fun part was a notebook-style interface to a Forth-like language I added in. Eventually I wanted the same kind of interface for Python programming in Emacs, and moved on to that with https://github.com/darius/halp.

I just tried halp, it seems pretty cool, thank you for making it available!

You're welcome! It does hardly anything compared to systems like IPython, but I'm reluctant to learn interfaces.
