Clojurians Log v2

@flowthing Why do you need a dedicated nREPL session for sideloading?

I forget the specifics, and it appears they’re lost in the mists of Slack history, unfortunately… @shen would be able to tell. IIRC, if you try using the session where you send sideloader-start for other things (like clojure.test integration), you’ll get sideloader-provide requests for things you don’t want them for. That’s pretty much the extent of what I remember.

Yeah, that makes sense - I guess any time someone tries to require anything, even speculatively, it’ll go back to the IDE for that.

Assuming it’s not found locally, of course.

Yep, exactly.

There's quite a lot of non-obvious side effects to enabling sideloading, so isolating it in its own explicit session made sense. The design is based on unrepl version of the of the feature by Christophe. I assume it was made for similar reasons
