nyREPL ([a]ny REPL)

An experiment at the moment. Goals:

• Single binary from GraalVM native compilation.
• Can be configured (using interpreted Clojure files as configuration) to support any REPL.
• Wraps a REPL like python and proxies its stdio streams into an nREPL server.
• Replace almost all of Conjure's special stdio REPL interpretation code with nREPL connections.
• If this PoC works, stretch goals
  • Support other IO, like socket files
  • Support other REPL types like prepl output
  • Support REPL translation, prepl <-> nREPL
  • Find some way to support running nyREPL as a sub-process of some app if required in some environments, use it like a library.
  • Support more than just stdio, if it can read Janet's netrepl and spit out nREPL that's even more code we can delete from Conjure.

I aim to make this a universal translator to nREPL concepts so that Conjure can simplify down to an opinionated bundle of nREPL clients.

Notes

• sci might be the best way to provide configuration scripts per language.
