In the previous conversation about this in this group a couple of years ago it was suggested that the way forward is to use MathLink (now WSTP) to communicate with Mathematica.
That seems a sensible approach to me. At least then one is dealing with a documented API, rather than an undefined interface that WRI can change from version or operating system. > Licensing issues They need thinking about. There is an open source command line interface to Mathematica. IIRC it uses curses so one can recall previous input, edit it and reevaluate.
