@cgrand this is more of a conceptual question than a technical one... In the case of an editor like emacs where you can send interactive evaluations from a working buffer to the socket REPL, would you send those through the user conn or the aux conn?

@volrath it depends on what you want to achieve. I personally would like to have evals from a buffer part of the repl log (together with nice persistent logs).

so then I would send over user

if your UX is different I would use another connection (maybe a dedicated one)

@cgrand yeah that's what I thought, and that's what I'm looking for as well.. just wanted to confirm with you in case I was missing something.

In CIDER we use the user conn for this. The idea is that we shouldn’t make a distinction as to where some evaluation originated from, as long as it came from the user evaluation application code. Everything else goes to nREPL’s equivalent of a aux (we call it tooling) connection.

yep, seems like the sane approach to this

Just re-discovered that since cljs is sometimes read by clojure reader, regexes can’t have non-java patterns...
