How to prevent Ctrl-C from quitting clj? I'm too used to repl-y's meaning of Ctrl-C (which interrupts eval OR discards current unsubmitted input but never quits the repl)

I think that's the default behavior for a Java process (default signal handler)

so you actually would need to install a new signal handler

thanks, I'll do that!

there is actually a thing in clojure.repl I think that does that

clojure.repl/set-break-handler!

at the very least, that's something to look at

the signal handler stuff is a little weird in that it's a very old sun.misc interface. Java made a big push to eradicate all of those a while back but at the time they had no replacement way to do this. afaik, they still don't.

:) thanks for all the info (clojure.repl/set-break-handler! identity) was quite satisfactory
