Thank you for the offer, but I am currently tied up myself a lot. I was just looking into this because the topic had popped up here.
I should have provided some context as to how the Neovim Racket client works. When I'm experimenting I use the regular REPL from my terminal, not the client, that's why I mentioned the REPL. In a real remote plugin it works like this: when Neovim calls a function that's defined by a remote plugin an API client process is started, which can then receive responses, notifications and send back responses (using the MessagePack RPC protocol). Let's say I have a remote plugin like this: #lang racket (require nvim) (nvim-function "GetTwo" (λ (args) 2)) This defines a function called `GetTwo` that can be called from Neovim. Neovim then sends a request to the Racket client, the client executes the function `(λ (args) 2)` and sends the result (the integer `2` in this case) back to Neovim. For a completion plugin Neovim would send the current portion of the word to complete (and if necessary other information like the current file name) and Racket would return a list of matching symbol names. The function defined on the Neovim side is really just an interface wrapper for sending a message to the client, all the heavy lifting can be done in Racket.
