You are right of course. Technically speaking "interactive programming" is not 
a programming domain but a particular way to use a programming language / 
environment :-)

That being said, there are certain _application_ domains (specially in 
engineering and science) that pretty much require the kind of exploratory work 
that interactive programming excels at. You could answer your hypothetical 
question with "I program scientific simulators (e.g. in Matlab or Python)" and 
it would pretty much imply that you also "explore problems interactively (e.g. 
using Matlab or ipython)". A language must support both to be really useful in 
that particular domain. I wish Nim was good for that too. If it did it could 
solve the "two language problem" really well 
(<https://scientificcoder.com/how-to-solve-the-two-language-problem>).
