Joseph Ferano c1a612abfb The rejection goes away when you do anything else
An overlay that lasted until the next accepted evaluation was a durable
annotation on the source, which is not what it is: it is feedback about the
action that just failed, and the moment you move, type or evaluate it is
describing a program state nobody is in any more.

pre-command-hook rather than post-command-hook, which fires at the end of
the failing command and would take the overlay down before redisplay ever
drew it. Buffer-local and installed only while an overlay exists, so a
session of twenty buffers does not end up running this on every keystroke
in all of them.

;;; flan-dev.el --- Talk to a running Flan program -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
;; The editor half of Flan's dev loop. `flan dev program.flan' compiles the
;; program, launches it, and listens on .flan-dev.sock beside the source; this
;; connects to that socket and sends it forms. M-x flan-dev starts that
;; daemon from here and connects when it is serving, so the loop needs no
;; terminal — and M-x flan-dev-quit ends it, which ends the program, because
;; the daemon is what owns the program's lifetime.
;;
;; C-c C-c recompiles the top-level form at point and installs it in the
;; running program, at that program's next frame boundary. Call sites compiled
;; before the new body existed follow it, and the program's state — its globals
;; — is untouched. C-c C-k does the same for a whole buffer.
;;
;; The protocol is one s-expression per message, length framed. That is why
;; there is no parser here: `prin1' writes a request and `read' reads a reply.
;;
;; C-x C-e evaluates the expression before point *in the running program* and
;; shows its value. That is a different primitive from redefining a name:
;; there is nothing to install a body into, so the expression is wrapped in a
;; thunk the program runs at its next frame boundary. Only scalars, bool and
;; strings render so far — a Flan value carries no header, so a printer has to
;; be derived per type at compile time, and the ones that are not derived yet
;; say so rather than guessing.

;; daemon compiled every module it sent and still has both the .ll and the .so
;; — so the editor asks rather than shelling out to a compiler of its own,
;; which would show what the source says today and not what was installed.
;;
;; The header is SBCL's habit: say which function, from where, and out of
;; which object, before a line of code. The one line that matters most is
;; `showing', which is the daemon's own account of how much its answer claims
;; — there is no way to read an indirection cell back, so a body that has been
;; delivered is not thereby known to be installed, and the buffer says which of
;; the two it is looking at rather than letting the listing imply the stronger
