The term "REPL" is inapplicable for most of these languages, since they do not have anything comparable ton read, eval, or print.
It's useless to fight to reserve this term to Lisp: it has been solidly coined for similar programs in non-homoiconic languages as well for the last 10-20 years at least.
The languages in question might not have the same kind of 'read', but they usually have 'eval', and their REPLs do 'print'.
