@cgrand I’m back behind a keyboard, so I’ll catch up with the messages and the PRs soon.

> Does anybody know of a middleware which uses raw binary (byte arrays)? It seems unlikely given my understanding of the whole stack but I prefer to ask.

I don’t think so. I have to check what exactly was the content-type middleware doing, but everything else certainly deals only with data that’s representable as text.

@cgrand @dominicm When you’ve got some time can you take a look here and share your thoughts on the message logging approach?

This PR has been dragging on for a while and before we wrap it up I’m curious to hear what you think about it.

@bozhidar Did you forget to share were “here” is?

Oh, certainly.

Here is https://github.com/nrepl/nrepl/pull/87 🙂

> What are the connection means in use today? TCP socket, stdin/stdout and drawbridge?

There’s also fastlane - json/messagepack using transit.

And the WIP regarding EDN.

Today almost everyone is using bencode, and a few people are using drawbridge, but I guess things happened in this manner simply because there were no alternatives until quite recently.

I think the new transports would certainly be more convenient for certain clients.
