LOL, that's kinda vague! Maybe implementing the rest of prepl is easy enough (as a mod to Joker itself, if not as Joker code) to test out whether it'd be useful without tap>.

well, you did specifically mention tap> :)

From what little research I've done, it seems like tap> would require a fairly major change (if not redesign to Joker), because it basically requires being able to run arbitrary Joker code on different threads (i.e. Joker would need to support multithreading in some fashion).

So, is it worth (someone) implementing a pRepl for Joker without Joker also supporting tap>?

i got the sense from Olical that conjure would work fine without the tap> support in prepl - so it's the cost of prepl implementation and maintenace traded for users being able to use conjure i guess. on a side note, prepl is still alpha iiuc.

Interesting.
