hey, I’m wondering if there’s already a naming convention in use for naming nrepl socket files? Something similar to .nrepl-port but supporting more than one and giving them a name? This https://mastodon.online/@nikitonsky/113050603764542757 from @tonsky sums up the potential benefits of unix domain sockets over ports nicely.

There's no naming convention in place today, but I guess something like nrepl.sock kind of makes sense. 🙂

The main reason it took us forever to implement this in nREPL was that older JDKs didn't have support for Unix sockets. Windows didn't have support for them as well, before Windows 10.

So we had to wait a very long time for the stars to align in our favor. 🙂

I’d prefer a naming convention that can deal with multiple REPLs, so e.g. Clojure.nrepl-socket or shadow-cljs.nrepl-socket

being able to use the filename for the REPL name would be nice I think
