@bozhidar: thanks very much, that solved it instantly. I'll remember to keep clojure-mode in sync from now on. Thanks again!

Quite like the idea of moving nrepl-client outside of CIDER https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/issues/1225#issuecomment-132964461, seems like a good move

oops, should've posted that in the cider chan

@jonpither: yeah, we’ll get there eventually

lately I’ve been working slowly in this direction

as it’s the first step towards supporting Clojure 1.8 socket REPL

most likely in the end, the nrepl-client will be a pretty compact package and all the connection management logic will go into CIDER

as it will be more or less the same for nREPL and 1.8

(with different adapters, of course)
