Everything in there is output from lein jack-in. Much of it is elisp, since Leiningen spits out the elisp that's needed to bootstrap a connection. But it is consistent. (In 1.3.3 it will need a lot less elisp.) On top of the root value of *out* (which is always stdout of lein), each swank thread necessarily must bind *out* to a writer connected to the slime socket, otherwise the repl wouldn't get hooked up. > My issues with this is related to running servers and catching debug > output from it while it is running (yeah, I really should use a log > file, but that's another topic).

Putting *all* output in a file (so nothing is visible in the repl) is never going to be the default behaviour. The question is whether swank should use alter-var-root instead of binding to change the value of *out*. I don't personally work with any multithreaded programs that don't use a logging framework, so I haven't run into this myself, but it seems like as long as you're not relying on the stdout of the process it might be better to use the alter-var-root approach, at least when swank is launched via lein.
