I was a heavy user of mathematica 20 years ago, on a 486 with MS-DOS. Of course, it was inside a terminal. Has the ability to run mathematica textually been lost in the meantime?

I hope not, historically you've always been able to run the MathKernel from a terminal and interact with it that way. Maybe this is the same thing, just more targeted to use as an interpreter.

It's not been lost, but the visual editor has advanced a lot since then. Yet the cli was much unchanged.

The visual version is quite reasonable an IDE now.
