@pez mentioned you might be interested in hearing that nREPL just added support for EDN requests/responses (in addition to the default bencode ones). Looking at the conversation so far, however, it seems you’re leaning toward the built-in stuff and that’s totally fine. If there was something like prepl 7 years ago I would have probably used it as well, although I definitely think unrepl is a better solution for tool writers than prepl (of that type of REPLs).

It’s good to hear there’s progress there. Often it feels to me like the project is pretty much forgotten. When Clojure was announced I expected ClojureCLR would become as popular as the JVM version, and I’m still puzzled how things ended up the way they did.

I think someone meant to write tools.namespace
here. 🙂
> although I definitely think unrepl is a better solution for tool writers than prepl Indeed it is! There are lot of problems parsing EDN that return from completely valid Clojure code, and UNREPL solves these issues quite well.
