humdum, has anyone yet created a nrepl server for nodejs using sci?

I'm not aware of it but feel free to borrow from https://github.com/babashka/babashka.nrepl if that's useful

right, was eyeballing this too https://github.com/borkdude/sci/blob/master/examples/sci/examples/repl.cljs

right. There's also this one: https://babashka.org/xterm-sci/

but nREPL is a little bit more advanced. I think there might be existing nREPL implementations for CLJS though that you might re-use

thanks! I'm still on the "idea popped into my head" level :)

no problem :)
