Meikel has a solid bencode implementation that he's going to contribute; that's what I'm using in my reboot of nrepl. I think the idea of having all of the test interactions stored as file — maybe keeping the ones involving nontextual data separate — is great, and should allow other nrepl client implementations to reuse the same source of data as nrepl itself.
Hopefully I'll have the start of things committed to github ~Monday. - Chas On Jan 23, 2012, at 6:26 PM, Martin DeMello wrote: > It is often convenient to have an nrepl client in a non-jvm language - > so far I've written one in ocaml and Meikel Brandmeyer has one in > factor, that I know of.
