No, sorry. I meant that you send a Scala command as a normal message.
The message is sent to a Scala interpreter, evaluated, and the result
is sent back. In this way you can try out different Scala commands and
learn Scala.
For instance, I send a message:
println(List(1,2,3).filter(_ % 2 == 0))
as a reply to, say, user "ScalaConsole". It evaluates the result and returns:
List(2)
We could expand this and create a bot, which acts as an interface to
the OS shell, or telnet to a Cisco router, etc., etc. But the point
was to have a way to learn Scala *and* try the benefits of ESME. I
think we can use the responsiveness of Comet messages to our advantage
here.
