Sounds good at first sight. In fact, you could look at (system repl server), which implements something like that. That’s what the ‘--listen’ command-line option uses. > 1) scm_shell allows the `,q' command (and probably some other exit > routes) which kills the whole application.

Actually, ‘,q’ does ‘exit’, which just throws an exception, so it’s harmless (you can check it with ‘--listen’: typing ,q in the REPL over telnet doesn’t terminate the process, it just terminates the REPL server.) But then of course, if the user calls ‘primitive-exit’ or similar, the whole process terminates. You could rebind ‘primitive-exit’ to something harmless, but I’m not convince that protecting users against themselves makes sense. > 2) Thinking of portability, is guile running on Windows (without > cygwin), to justify the claim of 'ubiquitous'? It’s supposed to build and run with MinGW, though it’s definitely not widely tested. Thanks, Ludo’.
