is it possible to run a function before a lein repl then one after it has finished compiling and has started?

@biscuitpants: you can specify :repl-options > :init a form which is executed before lein repl starts

running code after repl actually started is more tricky

I ended up spawning code in a separate thread in my :init and wait until REPL comes online by polling its state: https://github.com/binaryage/dirac/blob/master/src/agent/dirac/agent_impl.clj#L140

there might be better solution of course, but this was the best I was able to do

ah i see, thank you @darwin, that helps a lot

:init form would help a lot

but also seeing that it may be easier with boot instead of lein

but, none of my projects are made with boot, so its tricky
