Yes. This is the distinction being made in the text as I understand it.

In which case the definition of live coding is solid, but the distinction between
live programming (as applied in the text we're discussing) and interactive programming
is less clear, if any.
But perhaps it's not that important to define these areas too rigidly as
they can easily overlap in various contexts.
