I'm not advocating adding TCP socket code to ILISP or merging ILISP and SLIME. I just consider that another option. As I said, it could be a "win-win option" but it might also be a "Frankenstein". Since ILISP was built on top of comint mode, it would probably be too much effort to retrofit socket communication support as an alternative.

In a sense SLIME uses socket communication, yeah, it probably would be, but if you simply want to connect to a repl through a socket, comint supports that already. You might need an additional channel for sending signals. -- Hannu
