Is there a way to have a full interpreter in Erlang, not just a “shell”.

Since it is a dynamic language, not being able to define named functions in the interpreter is a little bit disappointing… I suspect that it is because compilation units (modules) must be explicitly compiled for their execution by the VM, but maybe a REPL acting as a dynamic/recompilable module exist?
