how can I access *e without direct access to REPL?

@kirill.salykin has left the channel

Chlorine doesn't sets the "magic variables" like *1 , *e, and so on, so you probably will not be able to access then

printing to repl is good enough for me 🙂

doesn't the socket repl itself usually provide *e and friends?

Yes, it does. The problem is that there's more to the history: Chlorine connects to a Socket REPL, upgrades it to UNREPL, sends two commands before sending the evaluate, one of then that changes the currrent namespace

There's no way to be sure that *e will be kept on scope after all these steps, so there's no effort to support it 🙂

ah, thanks for the explanation
