Is there a way to talk to a Clojure REPL process from another process?

I'm wondering if I can make a Vim plugin that sends forms over to the REPL session that lein repl starts. Is there a way to send messages to an existing jline.ConsoleRunner process?

Solution

  • Slightly OT, but this is what nrepl is for. IIUC, vimclojure uses nrepl now for the REPLs it starts, and allows you to connect to remote Clojure processes that have started an nrepl server. I don't think Leiningen has an nrepl plugin, though (yet).
