what I would really like to be able to do is to *use* the already pretty slick ghci interface instead... ...so, is there a way to create an instance of it and attach it to the socket?
Sort of. See http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/As_a_library; in particular, http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/ghc/InteractiveEval.ht... is probably of interest. I don't know how much of GHCi you'd have to reimplement, though — the library is there, and does everything GHCi does, but I don't think it includes the REPL per se. Looks to me like you'd need to implement your own parser for ":"-commands and "import". -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
