Thanks for reply with the details, Bastien :)

the difference between this and CIDER?

I think you already answered it :) I find Cider amazing project, but is a 
bit biggish for my taste, especially if you would like to get the extension 
and start working on Clojure code, instead of setting up the details. Also, 
I prefer keeping REPL and all REPL related stuff (erorrs and exceptions) 
_inside_ REPL buffer and window, just like many Emacs modes works.

Now, a little bit internals: Monroe REPL is using comint-mode, which means 
that many comint keys and variables should work out of the box. In Emacs, 
comint-mode is used by default for interaction with external programs like 
shell, ielm, inferior-[lisp, scheme, python] and many of them are sharing 
similar shortcuts.

> i.e. why would I want to use this over CIDER? (could be good to put in 
the README as well)

I think README summarize the goals behind the project. If you find it 
confusing, I'll try to clarify the things a little bit.

Best,
Sanel
