Awesome!

Are you also aware of https://github.com/eraserhd/rep?

Btw, it's pretty easy to expose your binary as a babashka pod (this uses a very similar format as nREPL) so it can be used a a library from babashka. See https://github.com/babashka/pod-babashka-go-sqlite3 for an example in golang.

e.g.

(require '[pod.athos.trenchman :as t])
(t/eval "(+ 1 2 3)" {:port 1234})

Hi, thanks for your comments!

> Are you also aware of https://github.com/eraserhd/rep? Yeah, I know of it. Some of Trenchman's use cases overlap with it, I think. > Btw, it's pretty easy to expose your binary as a babashka pod (this uses a very similar format as nREPL) so it can be used a a library from babashka I'm not familiar with babashka pod, so I'll look into it later. Thanks for the suggestion! 🙏

bb nrepl-server & sleep 1 && trench -p 1667 && kill $!

Perhaps trench can support a timeout so it keeps trying until the port is open

Also some read-line-ish feature would be nice so up arrow works

I'm glad to see you playing with my tool 😄 Before the timeout, perhaps trench should support connection retry? > Also some read-line-ish feature would be nice so up arrow works Yes, readline is a must-have feature. I'd like to support it at some point if it's not too difficult to implement. For now, I'm using the command with rlwrap, like alias trench='rlwrap trench'.

yes, timeout + retry

you could look at how joker has implemented their REPL, I think they're using some golang library for dealing with the input

Ah, you're right

@U8QBZBHGD Wow, thank you for picking this out! 😍
