Question: Is ECL thread aware? Like, can I put a repl into a thread and have it put stuff into a work queue for ECL in the main thread to pick up and do the work contained? I ask mostly because I'd like the repl to be interactive while the C program is doing its tasks.

psilord: of course, just use Emacs and :slime-connect, by first loading a file like this one (will spawn a separate thread):

psilord: you may start swank as pls153 pointed out. if you want to call ecl directly from your thread (without a work queue) then you need to import it (it is documented and shiwn in examples)

I think that he has a few commercial aps on ios and android using it, but I might have misremembered

The goal is for me to better learn ECL (so I can possibly use it in other C projects) and well GrafX2 was a low hanging fruit since the API is simple. psilord is more of a C guy which I'm not so it helps. :)

We use slack at work and it's constanting pinging from the Agile scrummenfuhrer to ask for status reports.

psilord: I'm sometimes using ecl repl to interactively poke C applications (via swank) and to modify them
