Description

It could be good to expand docs on the socket REPL to:

  • Explain motivations for creating the socket REPL
  • Explain how it can be used or extended
  • Explain how it is different from the current Clojure REPL, and nREPL
  • Discuss the streaming nature of the REPL

There is some good information in the design doc that could be collated for this.

Done means these topics are clearly covered and the design document's useful information is collated.
