[slimpl] What's next?

[Brad Beveridge]

Just thought that I'd post here and say that I've not been completely
idle lately - just mostly :)
I've been working on writing a NetBeans server in SBCL, I'm at the
stage where I've got a (good?) framework in place and can send/receive
simple commands.
With a couple of hours of motivated hacking I ought to be able to
embed a basic REPL into a Vim buffer (or that's what it will look like
anyhow).
The Netbeans protocol is basically a remote control for gVim, you can
edit in gVim & the other end can snoop on what you are typing, also
the server end can cause text to be displayed in a gVim buffer.

I'm doing this because
 - felt like learning SBCL sockets and network programming
 - I don't know Perl (so can't really help SLIMP just yet)
 - good way to investigate using Netbeans as the async interrupt mechanism

Cheers
Brad
