@cgrand clients as in "implementing clients" or "improving the unrepl blob to the point where clients can be implemented more easily"?

to my mind, the main unsolved problem ATM is how to implement rich client features like autocompletion, docs

where should they be located - in unrepl, in an unrepl plugin (what would those looke like?), or in the client?

that obviously ties in with client development

@pesterhazy I was thinking of 1/ updating clients to cover more unrepl features (string elisions, side loader) 2/ figuring out what are the pain points 3/ paving the way for autocompletion etc.

or even developing new clients

Btw elision could be leveraged for better error printing: we can collapse parts heuristics deem as irrelevant more agressively as information is not thrown out

chouser asked if unrepl could help with remote pair programming

@cgrand, 1-3 sound good to me

remote pair programming.... I'm not sure how unrepl would help with that (over something like tmux or regular screen sharing)?

me neither but the question keeps nagging me

you want to be able to see what the other person is writing as they are typing

yeah: client thing

I would use something like debug-me.

what’s that? asking someone to join in for lending a hand?

Oh, I don't know for sure it lets two people type simulataneously. Still, I think the idea holds, basically a shared "terminal"

what could be hacked around unrepl would be to redirect all outputs (+ verbose echoes) to both sessions, so participants would still have their own input streams.

Seems agnostic to unrepl a little, I think?

I don’t know I can’t get my head around it

Requirements unclear. Hands stuck on pair's keyboard.

Vague requirements are an opportunity to get creative!

Maybe add an ellipsis after sideloader. Otherwise all good

Good luck with the hackday folks! I will try to pitch in if I can connect that day 🙂

@richiardiandrea great, we'll be here and maybe even open a Hangout / http://appear.in / ....

yeah an http://appear.in channel is going to be good 😉

@cgrand, ellipsis added. Unfortunately it doesn't expand when you click.
